Experience the Durham Performing Arts Center

It’s the capital of live entertainment in the state of North Carolina, famous for its modern, minimalist design focusing your eye on the stage, rather than the excess and intricacies of internal architecture and design. Almost 3,000 seats and the state-of-the-art sound and video system has placed this stage in the Top Five Pollstar Magazine’s annual global theater attendance rankings; it’s also the fourth-most frequented theater in the United States.

But its glory does not lie in its massive community of fans and loyal theater-goers. It is in its 200 performances a year, its Broadway shows, its concerts and its comedies, its family shows, and the American Dance Festival. It is in the icons standing within a single spotlight on that stage in front of the crowd. It is in the one-of-a-kind art, the infinite passion, the intense, sizzling drama, and the throes of tragedy.

Chris Rock: Total Blackout Tour 2017 - Feb. 13-15
