Prudential Hall Betty Wold Johnson Stage is a major concert hall within the New Jersey Performing Arts Center (NJPAC), designed as a prominent setting for concerts, theatrical productions, dance performances, comedy and other large-scale stage events. The auditorium accommodates nearly 2,900 guests, while its combination of classical elegance and contemporary performance design creates a formal atmosphere without losing a sense of connection to the stage.
One of the hall's defining qualities is its acoustics designed for live performance, complemented by a seating layout intended to provide clear sightlines from different areas of the auditorium. Multiple seating levels offer varied perspectives of the stage, while the surrounding NJPAC spaces provide foyers and audience facilities for use before performances and during intermissions.
The hall is located at 1 Center St, Newark, United States, in the central part of the city. Visitors arriving by car can use the conveniently located Military Park Garage across from the complex, followed by a short walk to the entrance.
