Happy Pride!

This Pride Month, we’re celebrating two members of the Purchase community whose work continues to make an impact through art, storytelling, and representation.

Kyle Abraham ‘00, founder of A.I.M by Kyle Abraham, has spend nearly two decades pushing the boundaries of contemporary dance through work that explores love, identity, community, and self-discovery.

Megan Rossman, Associate Professor of Communications, has brought important LGBTQ+ stories to audiences around the world through documentaries including The Archievettes and We’ll Carry On Alright.

Both are recipients of the prestigious Princess Grace Award, an honor recognizing emerging artists in theater, dance, and film.

What was the moment that moved you during our 2025-2026 season?

The awe you felt as Compagnie Hervé Koubi created the sun on stage...
Giggling at the antics of Cirque Mechanics...
Witnessing the magical connection between Orpheus and pianist Nobuyuki Tsujii...
Or something else entirely?

These moments are personal, and they stay with us, bringing us joy and inspiration long after the curtain goes down. Thank you for joining us this season and for letting us share these moments with you.

And keep an eye out for our 2026-2027 season announcement, coming soon!

We’re putting the white walls in our Upper Lobby to good use this summer.

Ruby Yarnall just graduated from Purchase College, SUNY with her BFA, and now her work is on display at The PAC. Drop by any time the building is open to take a look. This mini-exhibit, coordinated by our very own Rental Bookings Manager Monique Ford, will be on view until the fall of 2026.

Today’s the day…
Congrats to the Purchase College, SUNY of 2026!
Wishing you all the best!

We also have to give a shout out to honorary degree recipient Kyle Abraham. Our good friend Kyle got his start dancing on our stages as a Conservatory student, and has been back many times since with his company A.I.M by Kyle Abraham. And while we haven’t yet officially announced our upcoming season, in honor of this momentous day we will give you a heads up that A.I.M will be heading our way in the spring of 2027 - details to come!
