Park Performing Arts Center, Performing arts center in Union City, New Jersey
The Park Performing Arts Center is a performing arts venue in Union City, New Jersey, with an auditorium that seats over 1,000 people. The hall also contains a large pipe organ that is played during performances and musical events.
The building was constructed in 1931 as part of a Roman Catholic church complex. Over time it became a community performing arts center, keeping many features from its original design.
The Park Performing Arts Center presents Broadway productions, concerts, and community events that reflect life in North Hudson County. Audiences range from longtime visitors to newcomers discovering what the venue offers throughout the year.
The center sits near the corner of 32nd Street and Central Avenue in the heart of Union City, making it easy to find on foot. Classes in performing and visual arts are also open to the public for those who want to take part beyond attending a show.
The stained glass windows inside the building were made by an Austrian art studio in the early 20th century and later carefully restored. They feature fine glasswork that visitors rarely expect to find inside a performing arts venue.
