About SOPAC’s Creative Community Brain Trust

SOPAC’s groundbreaking Creative Community Brain Trust is a committee of advisors and industry experts that will guide SOPAC toward inclusively excellent, radically creative, and community-powered programming.

Each expert focus on programming within one of SOPAC’s five pillars of programming: Broadway in Concert & New Musicals Development, Comedy, Experiential and Immersive, Kids + Family, and Music.

With the Creative Community Brian Trust, SOPAC is radically reimagining its relationship with the north Jersey regional community and uplifting voices and visions to power transformational change.  Operating in the spirit of community curation, the SOPAC’s Creative Community Brain Trust will envision ever more creative, community-centric, connected, and empathetic programming.

The Brain Trust contributors work in tandem with SOPAC’s Senior Programming Manager Dan Stankus to curate experiences, artists, acts, and gatherings across the SOPAC campus in the creatively kinetic downtown Village of South Orange, including on the SOPAC mainstage, in the Loft at SOPAC, and additional spaces across the campus.
