A former movie palace known as the Loew's State Theater, PPAC is a 3000 seat jewel of a theatre by Rapp & Rapp. It has been lovingly restored. It now features primarily Broadway show series, as well as Philharmonic concerts and other events, including Bright Night Providence, RI's artist-run New Year's Eve Celebration. The building was added to National Register of Historic Places on August 19, 1977 (#77000027).
