STARTS LONG BEFORE THE CURTAINS RISE

...Or the VIP door as the case may
be at bergenPAC, where DMR’s redesign included a new entrance and entertainment space for those willing to spend a little extra. Yet knowing that an elevated experience is important for all theatregoers, DMR also redesigned the lobby and concessions area into vibrant gathering spaces for all to enjoy.

incorporating the best acoustics.
DMR has been a pioneer in activating
and designing performance spaces, including the award-winning repurposing of Hackensack’s 140-year-old Masonic Temple, a project that was complemented by the conversion of the adjacent parking lot into Atlantic Street Park, serving as the catalyst for what soon became a downtown arts district.
But the experience of the arts – and the inspiration that happens within these
spaces – does not only occur at professional performances. It is happening in schools too. DMR has recently renovated a record number of auditoriums, turning them into career incubators for students considering musical theatre, sound, and lighting careers.
