The Union County Performing Arts Center strives to be an event center that is not only accessible, but one that also actively encourages the attendance of all individuals at our performances – regardless of physical ability.

To that end, the UCPAC Board of Trustees and staff affirms its commitment to the precepts of equal opportunity and the Americans with Disabilities Act. UCPAC makes every reasonable effort to comply with ADA guidelines whenever and wherever possible.

Please email the UCPAC Box Office or call (732) 499-8226 if you have questions regarding accessibility or would like to request additional accessible assistance ahead of time for an upcoming performance.
