Stockton PAC announces 2022-2023 theater season

Actress Kathleen Turner to perform at the Stockton PAC.

GALLOWAY TOWNSHIP - Stockton University's Performing Arts Center has officially announced its 2022-2023 season. The main stage season will run from early-October to the end of April and includes acts ranging from captivating dance and dramatic plays to family entertainment and musicals. The goal in creating the season was to find diverse performances that everyone can enjoy.

First and foremost, the arts need to be a vehicle for all. The arts are a vital part of our community that help us engage with each other, foster growth and offer a reprieve during difficult times, said Anjanette Christy, the interim director of the PAC. We felt there were groups in our community that were underrepresented on our stage and in the audience. If we consistently diversify our performances, we will build new audiences and become a place for everyone. 

Some of the acts taking the main stage this season include:

• Kathleen Turner: Finding My Voice(Sunday, Nov. 6): A once-in-a-lifetime chance to see a true Hollywood legend on stage, Kathleen Turner: Finding My Voice is a deeply personal show packed with humor, great music and one-of-a-kind insights spanning her extensive and exciting career.
