Dear North Carolina, For 70 amazing years, you—the people of North Carolina—have been by our side. You’ve inspired us and cheered us on since our first telecast back in 1955. Together, we’ve welcomed Mister Rogers to our neighborhood, gotten our hands dirty with This Old House and gone on countless trips with NC Weekend. Weekend. We’ve mastered the art of French cooking with Julia, found our roots with Henry Louis Gates Jr. and rummaged through every yard sale looking for the next big Antiques Roadshow discovery.
Because of you, PBS North Carolina has expanded beyond broadcast television to educate, inform, entertain and inspire all North Carolinians—at home, in the classroom or on the go. Your support has made all of this possible, and for that we’re forever grateful.

So here’s to you for 70 wonderful years! And stay tuned as the best is yet to come.
With gratitude,
Your friends at PBS North Carolina

WELCOME FROM THE MAYOR
Greetings
O
n behalf of the City of Durham, I would like to welcome you to DPAC! Like so many Durham residents, I recognize the jewel that DPAC is to Durham and the Triangle region. I’m thrilled to say that DPAC, after more than a decade, continues to showcase the energy, passion and great entertainment with a list of performances that people will travel from miles around to see. This season will feature some of Broadway’s biggest hits, concerts, comedy shows and special events to ever take the DPAC stage. I’m also excited to see so many DPAC fan-favorites and first-time performers take the stage throughout the upcoming season. And as usual, all the special touches that come with seeing a Broadway show or concert at DPAC still await you, starting with the beauty of the theater and DPAC’s legendary customer service. A visit to DPAC is an open invitation to experience Durham. It’s as easy as parking and walking to downtown restaurants, or taking a short drive to nearby malls, museums, or historical sites. As your Mayor, I’m so excited that one of my duties is to officially welcome you to one of the greatest theaters in the world! But don't take my word for it – DPAC is a Pollstar favorite, consistently ranking among the top theaters in the country. Thank you for choosing DPAC and Durham. Now settle into your seats to enjoy your DPAC experience and an unforgettable show. In Service and Gratitude,
Leonardo Williams – Mayor

WELCOME FROM THE GENERAL MANAGER
"Welcome to DPAC!"
F
or seventeen years, I’ve had the privilege of being part of the team that says, “Welcome to DPAC!”
From our inaugural season in 2008 where we only had a few thousand Broadway at DPAC members to this season where we are proud to be welcoming nearly 18,000 season members and be ranked as one of the top-five theatres in the country, it has been an exceptional journey. On behalf of everyone on Team DPAC, we thank you for this chance to host you at this incredible Broadway performance.
For some of you in the audience, this may be your first time visiting, while others may have joined us for countless great shows over the past decade. Whether this is your first visit or your hundredth, please know that every single guest at DPAC is important to us. We are always here to listen and to help. Your feedback helps us stay on track to deliver unforgettable, moving, emotional, fun, and all-around great experiences. We invite you to Discover the Magic of Broadway this season…we’re glad you are here.

MOBILE ENTRY AT DPAC
PHOTO BY MICHAEL GILLMAN
Your phone is your ticket
M
obile entry is a safe, easy, convenient, and contactless way to access and manage your tickets all in one place. Safety is every venue’s #1 priority, and mobile entry gives DPAC a better understanding of who guests are prior to every performance. It is critical for venues to know who is in possession of each ticket in order to share important information with them before the doors open and the show begins. With mobile entry, there’s no need for direct contact or physical exchange of your ticket. Mobile entry guarantees a quick and safe ticket scan straight from your phone. Our secure ticket technology reduces the risk of ticket fraud and eliminates the possibility of theft or counterfeiting. Once you’ve purchased your mobile tickets on Ticketmaster, you can always rest assured you’re getting the seats you paid for. Always be aware, though. Do not purchase tickets from unauthorized online ticket brokers. Don’t be fooled by online websites that mimic DPAC’s name or website, or offer tickets they might not even have. Go directly to DPACnc.com. 36

GUEST ETIQUETTE
At DPAC, we’re committed to Guest Courtesy. Please remember to be a good neighbor to those seated around you.
After the Performance Yes, the lobby gets busy and the parking lots can be tricky, but please remain at your seats until the house lights come up. As a courtesy to the performers and other audience members, DPAC asks that you do not rush for the exits prematurely at the end of the performance.
Entering and Exiting the Seating Area Please time your exits and reentry to the seating area to occur only at intermission or breaks between songs. This is a courtesy to other guests around you who will appreciate you keeping these disruptions to a minimum.
Kids at DPAC Please note that all guests require a ticket, regardless of age. Children under the age of 6 are not allowed at most DPAC performances, including Broadway, Concerts and Comedy shows. For some shows, DPAC will make recommendations on the appropriate minimum age based on the content and the length of the event. Parental discretion is always advised, and judgment of the appropriateness of the content for each show should be made on an individual basis prior to purchase. Children must be able to sit quietly in their own seat without disturbing other guests. As a further courtesy to our guests, DPAC recommends one parent or chaperone for every one child in attendance. It Can Wait Please save texting until AFTER the show. The light from phones is distracting to others throughout the theater. Please keep them turned off.
It’s Superstar Entertainment, Not a Food Fest Small snacks and drinks are welcome in the seating area, but as a courtesy to those around you, eat and drink as quietly as possible. Please know that odors and noisy wrappers can disturb others. We also ask that you finish sandwiches or other large food items before entering the seating area.
Photography / Video Recording Using Mobile Phones
At DPAC, each event that we host determines their own policy on photography and video recording using mobile phones. We enforce these policies at their direction. Please note that GoPros, tablets, and cameras of any kind are prohibited at all DPAC events. Photography and video recording using mobile phones is not permitted at all Broadway shows.
Quiet Please Once the show starts, please let the stage be the center
of attention. We ask that you turn off all cell phones and limit conversation. If children are attending this performance with you, please exit the theater immediately if they become restless or talkative.

THE DPAC RISING STAR AWARDS
PHOTO BY HUTH PHOTO
This past spring, DPAC named Carmen Sophia Dubon (Weaver Academy) and Josiah Jennings (Hillside High School) The DPAC Rising Star Awards’ Best Actress and Best Actor winners. Carmen and Josiah then went on to compete nationally at the Jimmy Awards® in New York City, which included a total of 110 nominees representing 55 Regional Awards Programs from across the country. Carmen and Josiah worked with Broadway professionals and made their Broadway debuts on Nederlander’s Minskoff Theatre stage, where Disney’s The Lion King performs to sold out audiences nightly. Josiah was one of five recipients who received the Outstanding Performance in an Ensemble Award, which came with a $2,500 scholarship. Additionally, KoKo Thornton (Enloe High School) represented The DPAC Rising Star Awards on the national level this past spring. Nominated by DPAC's 2024 Best Actor winner Conor Kruger, she was one of two teachers from across the country to receive the Inspiring Teacher Award during the Jimmy Awards® in 2025. KoKo, Carmen and Josiah represented DPAC and central North Carolina exceptionally and we could not be prouder of the great talent that exists in our region. More information on NHSMTA™ and the Jimmy Awards® can be found at jimmyawards.com. The DPAC Rising Star Awards are made possible by Blue Cross and Blue Shield of North Carolina
and by these valuable community partnerships and sponsors
