At the Paterson Performing Arts Development Council (PPADC), a 501C3 nonprofit, we are committed to bringing outstanding entertainment and cultural events to the City of Paterson, New Jersey, reaching a broader diverse audience, and providing educational opportunities to young adults from underserved neighborhood wards. We believe in providing the community at large with affordable and accessible state-of-the-art performances that truly make an impact. We see the power of the performing arts in enriching the cultural fabric of Paterson and the Silk City’s historic vibrancy.
