This page covers everything you need to know before you go — from finding the right seats to getting there, navigating the venue, and buying with confidence.
Perelman Performing Arts Center, also known as PAC NYC, opened in 2023 at 251 Fulton Street in New York, NY, on the World Trade Center site. Operated by the nonprofit Perelman Performing Arts Center, it is part of the rebuilt WTC campus overseen in partnership with the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey and city and state stakeholders. The venue’s capacity is flexible, with three primary theaters — the Mikhail Baryshnikov, John E. Zuccotti, and Doris Duke theaters — that can be used separately or combined into configurations seating roughly 450 to 950 guests.
The center was conceived as a home for both emerging and established artists, with programming that spans theater, dance, music, opera, film and media screenings, cabaret-style performances, experimental works, and multidisciplinary new productions. Since opening, PAC NYC has presented work by New York and international artists, including original and reinterpreted stage works.
A defining feature of Perelman Performing Arts Center is its approximately 5,000 translucent Portuguese marble tiles, which allow the building to glow from within at night beside the 9/11 Memorial.
Perelman Performing Arts Center is located at 251 Fulton Street, New York, NY 10007 — on the World Trade Center campus in Lower Manhattan, near the 9/11 Memorial and the Oculus.

The World Trade Center Transportation Hub and PATH trains are adjacent, and multiple subway lines serve the area, including the 1, R, and W at Cortlandt/WTC, the E at World Trade Center, the 2 and 3 at Park Place, the 4 and 5 at Fulton Street, and the A, C, J, and Z at Fulton Center.
Driving and Parking: Driving into Lower Manhattan can be congested, and street parking is scarce around the World Trade Center site. Paid parking garages are located in the Financial District and the surrounding WTC area, though many patrons choose transit or rideshare for easier access.
Rideshare: Rideshare drop-off and pickup are available on surrounding streets. Expect congestion and traffic restrictions around the WTC and Memorial area, especially after performances when pickups can take longer.
Nearby Accommodation: Numerous hotels in the Financial District, Battery Park City, and Tribeca are within walking distance, making those neighborhoods convenient for visitors who want easy access before and after the event.
Perelman Performing Arts Center has a flexible interior built around three reconfigurable theaters, so the layout can change from one production to the next. Reviewing your event details before arriving helps you move quickly from the lobby to the correct performance space.
Entrances and Access: The main public entrance faces the World Trade Center campus near the 9/11 Memorial. The building is integrated into the pedestrian network of the WTC site and connects naturally to the surrounding transit options.
Seating Levels: The interior is organized around the Mikhail Baryshnikov, John E. Zuccotti, and Doris Duke theaters, which can be arranged separately or combined into different stage-and-seating formats. A grand marble-lit lobby and public gathering spaces serve as the main circulation areas, with a restaurant and bar component inside the venue.
Accessibility: Accessible seating and services are provided consistent with a newly constructed, ADA-compliant performing arts facility.
Getting to Your Section: Because seating layouts and theater configurations change by production, staff and signage guide patrons to the correct room and seating arrangement for each event.

Perelman Performing Arts Center ticket prices vary significantly depending on the type of event, the artist or company, seating section, and demand — which is what you'd expect from a venue that hosts everything from theater and dance productions to marquee music, cabaret, and special performances.
For theater, dance, and opera productions, tickets can start around $35 and commonly range up to approximately $125, with pricing shaped by the production, performance date, configuration, and capacity.
For music, cabaret, and special performances, tickets typically range from about $45 to $150 or more for marquee events. Because the performance spaces are intimate and seating counts change by configuration, high-demand events can move quickly.
Buying earlier generally gives you better availability, especially for popular performances in smaller room configurations. As inventory shrinks and the event date approaches, prices for the best remaining seats can rise.
