Jersey City, N.J.<\/strong> – Â鶹ÊÓƵ’s College today announced the launch of Â鶹ÊÓƵ’s PAC, a consortium of distinctive performing arts spaces situated within the campus of Â鶹ÊÓƵ’s College in Jersey City, N.J. Â鶹ÊÓƵ’s PAC features a variety of diverse event spaces with seating capacities ranging from 200 to 3,200. Â鶹ÊÓƵ’s College is kicking off the launch with an impressive line-up of performers throughout the remainder of the year. <\/p>\n

“The opening of Â鶹ÊÓƵ’s PAC is a momentous occasion for our neighborhood as this new initiative will open up endless cultural opportunities and will bring world-class talent to the McGinley Square area,” said Michael A. Fazio, vice president for advancement and external affairs, at Â鶹ÊÓƵ’s College. “As we look forward to our transition to Â鶹ÊÓƵ’s University, Â鶹ÊÓƵ’s PAC is just another sign of the rebirth of Â鶹ÊÓƵ’s and of Jersey City.” <\/p>\n

The venues in Â鶹ÊÓƵ’s PAC include St. Aedan’s: The Â鶹ÊÓƵ’s College Church – a 1,200 seat cathedral that transforms into a majestic theatre, providing a grand backdrop for world-class artists; a 3,200 seat arena that hosts family events, trade shows, food expos and more; an intimate 200 seat theatre; and black box spaces showcasing everything from poetry jams to comedy improv to film screenings. A 400 seat cabaret-style performance space with a coveted view of the Manhattan skyline is also currently under construction and will serve as the perfect arena for jazz and acoustic concerts.  <\/p>\n

On Saturday, November 3, Bill Cosby will take the stage for a stand-up performance at St. Aedan’s: The Â鶹ÊÓƵ’s College Church for the premiere event for the Performing Arts Center.
