The Damansara Performing Arts Centre (DPAC) in Petaling Jaya is kickstarting its own pandemic recovery plan.

The DPAC initiative, aptly called "Harapan Di Hadapan" (Hope Is Ahead), aims to jumpstart projects by providing theatre makers a free venue and technical support from DPAC. The idea is to ensure arts projects and theatre shows get back on stage when theatres and arts venues are eventually allowed to reopen.
