It all began in the fall of 2004, Bergen Performing Arts Center reopened its doors, thanks to the unwavering dedication of a small group of individuals. Led by Founder, Frank Huttle III, and joined by Edmondo Schwarz, Robert Cook, Sam Mann, Chris Yegen, and Donald Aronson, these individuals were determined to preserve a theater that had long been considered one of the leading cultural institutions in North Jersey. Their passion and commitment have shaped bergenPAC into the thriving arts center it is today.
