The Marie P. DeBartolo Performing Arts Center (DPAC) is a performing arts venue located on the south end of the University of Notre Dame campus and open to the South Bend, Indiana, and wider community.

[1] The 150,000 square foot facility, which opened in September 2004, was financed in large part by a gift from Edward J. DeBartolo Sr., and the building was named in honor of his wife.

Those who have performed at DPAC include Wynton Marsalis, Itzhak Perlman, Ladysmith Black Mambazo, the New York Philharmonic, Dave Brubeck, Kronos Quartet, The Chieftains, Leslie Odom Jr., Renée Elise Goldsberry, Todd Rundgren, Third Coast Percussion, and L.A. Theatre Works.

Adjacent to the Michael Browning Family Cinema, visitors will find a plaque dedicating the popcorn popper within the building's concession stand to Pawnee Indiana's famous miniature horse Li'l Sebastian, who earned an honorary degree from Notre Dame.

A life and legacy of delighting crowds from Pawnee to Buckingham Palace to Kuwait will be honored forever by delighting crowds at the DeBartolo Performing Arts Center with buttery, freshly popped popcorn.
