The Bergen Performing Arts Center is more than a performing arts center — it's a historic landmark that brings world-class entertainment to the heart of Englewood, just 10 miles north of Manhattan. If you’re exploring Bergen Performing Arts Center upcoming events, you’ll find an inviting venue where great performances and an intimate atmosphere meet.

Originally opened in 1926 as the Englewood Plaza movie theater, the venue was reborn in 2003 after extensive renovations, emerging as today’s Bergen Performing Arts Center (bergenPAC). With a capacity of approximately 1,367, it pairs classic Art Deco architecture and a grand proscenium stage with modern upgrades in sound and lighting.

Bergen Performing Arts Center events range from concerts, comedy, and Broadway-style theater to dance, family programming, and educational showcases. Legendary artists including Tony Bennett, Aretha Franklin, Diana Ross, Ringo Starr, Jerry Seinfeld, Jay Leno, John Legend, and Paul Anka have graced its stage, alongside recurring performances by the New Jersey Symphony Orchestra.

What sets the venue apart is its intimate layout and excellent sightlines from nearly every seat, supported by upgraded audio and lighting designed to handle a wide range of shows. The ornate interior and illuminated Art Deco façade add a sense of occasion, while the onsite Performing Arts School anchors bergenPAC’s deep commitment to community education.

From marquee headliners to rising stars and student performances, the experience is welcoming, polished, and easy to enjoy. Whether it’s your first visit or your fiftieth, you’ll appreciate the combination of historic charm and modern comfort.

Seating Recommendations and Charts

Bergen Performing Arts Center offers seating for approximately 1,367 guests, arranged in a classic reserved layout with Orchestra, Mezzanine, and Balcony sections designed for excellent sightlines and an intimate feel.

Orchestra: The center orchestra is widely praised for its acoustics and balanced views of the grand proscenium stage. Rows generally span A–Z, with accessible seating options available in the orchestra; exact row ranges may vary by event, so confirm with the box office if you need specifics.
Mezzanine: The front mezzanine (Rows AA–FF) is a favorite for its elevated perspective and clear sightlines to the full stage. If you like a broad, unobstructed view without being too far back, these seats often hit the sweet spot.
Balcony: The balcony (Rows GG–LL) provides a wider vantage point that’s great for large-scale productions and dance. It’s an excellent value for many concerts and family shows, with the intimacy of the room keeping you close to the action.
VIP and Accessible Seating: Limited VIP seating is available for select shows, and accessible seating is located in the orchestra section. If you need accessible accommodations, reserve early to secure the best options.

Location and Transportation

Venue Address

Bergen Performing Arts Center

30 North Van Brunt Street

Englewood, NJ 07631

Located approximately 10 miles north of Manhattan, the theater sits in downtown Englewood with easy access from both New Jersey communities and New York City.

Parking: Several municipal lots and garages are located nearby, with limited street parking available. Typical fees range from $5–$10 — arrive early for your best chance at a close spot.
Public Transit: Accessible via NJ Transit bus lines from Manhattan and other New Jersey locations; local taxi and shuttle services also serve Englewood.
Rideshare & Dropoff: Designated pickup and dropoff zones are available near the main entrance on North Van Brunt Street.

Arrival Recommendations

Plan to arrive 60–90 minutes before showtime. Early arrival helps you secure convenient parking in nearby municipal lots, breeze through entry, and explore the lobby or grab a quick refreshment before the curtain rises. For Bergen Performing Arts Center events, arriving early also makes rideshare pickup and dropoff smoother along North Van Brunt Street.

Because the venue is indoors, weather won’t affect your performance — but it can impact traffic and parking. If you’re coming from Manhattan or other parts of North Jersey, build in extra time for rush-hour conditions and bus schedules. Cell service is generally reliable, though it may be limited in basement or interior areas.

Walking from nearby lots is minimal, and accessible entrances and ramps make the approach easy for all guests. If you’re meeting a group, choose a simple meetup point — like the illuminated Art Deco façade outside the main entrance or the lobby — so everyone can connect quickly before the show.

Venue Navigation

The theater’s layout is straightforward, with three primary seating areas: Orchestra, Mezzanine, and Balcony. You’ll find restrooms on all levels, along with concessions offering snacks, soft drinks, and light refreshments. During select performances, local beer and wine are available for purchase, and many shows feature artist merchandise in the lobby.

ATMs are located in the lobby, and staff can help direct you to accessible seating or amenities. The Performing Arts School at bergenPAC is part of the campus, and lobby displays often feature local art or memorabilia from past performances — a quick, engaging stop if you arrive early.

Bag Policy: Small bags and purses are allowed; large bags and backpacks may be subject to search or not permitted.
Prohibited Items: Weapons, outside food and beverages, large bags, professional cameras, and recording devices.

Post-Purchase Tips — Be Ready for Event Day

Download your tickets before arriving — cell service can be limited.
Bring a valid ID and cashless payment option.
Charge your phone fully.
Review venue policies in advance.
If you’re driving, review Englewood municipal lot locations ahead of time to pick the best exit route after the show.
Don’t miss a photo of the illuminated Art Deco façade — it’s a great meetup spot and a memorable snapshot.

Pre-Event Planning

Make an evening of it by arriving early to explore downtown Englewood’s dining scene. With several restaurants within a short walk, you can enjoy everything from classic Italian to sushi before heading to your seats. It’s also the best way to navigate parking calmly and be in your seat when the lights go down.

Take a moment outside to appreciate the historic Art Deco façade, which is beautifully illuminated at night. Inside the lobby, you’ll sometimes find displays featuring local art or performance memorabilia — a quick way to connect with the venue’s 1926 roots and community presence.

If you’re attending with a group, coordinate your seating in advance and use Ticket Purchase’s interactive map to pick adjacent seats. For Bergen Performing Arts Center events, choose a simple meetup point (lobby concessions or the main entrance) so late arrivals can find you easily.

Accessibility

Bergen Performing Arts Center is ADA-accessible, with ADA parking available in nearby municipal lots, accessible seating in the orchestra section (reserve in advance), and accessible entrances with interior ramps. Assistive listening devices are available upon request to enhance the performance experience for guests with hearing needs.
