The Newport Performing Arts Center (PAC) is the premiere performance venue on the Oregon coast.
In addition to hosting community events, professional entertainment, touring artists, festivals, and more, it is also home to a group of Resident Artist Companies affectionately called the PAC “RATs” — community music, theatre, and dance producers who keep the facility busy year-round.
The PAC has two performance spaces…
The Alice Silverman Theater is a 371-seat traditional proscenium theater with a balcony, orchestra pit, full range of technical capabilities, HD projection, and state-of-the-art Meyer Acoustical Sound System.
The David Ogden Stiers Studio Theatre is a transitional “black box” theater space more suited to intimate concert events and experimental theatre. The Stiers offers seating for 80, depending on setup.
Accessibility: The Newport Performing Arts Center is wheelchair accessible for entry and seating in both performance spaces. Specific “seats” are set aside to accommodate a wheelchair and a companion in a traditional seat. Please call the box office directly 541-265-2787 (or stop by in person) to request wheelchair seating. If you have mobility concerns, please contact the box office so we can help you book seating that is more easily accessible. (Balcony seating is not recommended for those with mobility concerns.)
