About Dominican University Performing Arts Center (DUPAC)

As a center of distinction for Dominican University—a master’s level institution consistently ranked in the top tier of Midwest schools by U.S. News & World Report—DUPAC presents a concert series, the theatre arts department lab series, and serves as a host site for several local arts organizations and special events.

Each of these series complements a key component of the university’s mission.  The Concert Series explores a diverse range of art and artists and is curated with a multi-cultural focus as well as the idea to better connect the audience to the world in which they live.  The Theatre Arts Lab series, through a blend of contemporary and classic drama, comedy and musical theatre, provides a forum for exploring issues of the day.

SUPPORT DUPAC

Dominican University Performing Arts Center's mission is to provide a wide range of diverse performing arts experiences to everyone in the community and we work hard to keep ticket costs and rental fees in an accessible range. To achieve our mission, DUPAC must annually raise about 1/3 of our total revenue from charitable contributions.

We are able to offer outstanding programming - including a FREE summer concert series - and support the excellent work of local companies and artists thanks to the generous gifts of individual community members each year. Please consider a donation to DUPAC and join the community of supporters!

Dominican University is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization.
