Company Overview:
Queens Theatre presents and produces programs for adults, children, and family audiences that reflect the diversity in Queens and features international, national and local artists. The Theatre offers access to a full range of performing arts, including theatre, dance, music, and children’s programming. Its season runs year round with arts programs, a Latino Cultural Series and Festival, a Black Cultural Arts Series, an Asian Cultural Arts Festival and a Greek Cultural Festival.
Mission:
The Theatre’s goal is to provide the community with quality presentations at affordable prices, easy access, and a sense of shared community in a local place of public assembly.
Products:
The Theatre is housed in the New York State Pavilion in Flushing Meadows Corona Park, which was designed for the 1964 World’s Fair by Philip Johnson as a cycloramic tribute to New York State. The Pavilion was converted to a theatre in 1972 and was operated by various organizations until 1985. Queens Theatre in the Park was officially established in 1989 with the full support of the community and the Queens Borough President. After a $4 million renovation, Queens Theatre officially opened to the public in 1993 in a facility that allows the Theatre to stage productions equal to those of any Off-Broadway house in Manhattan. The Theatre stages 400 performances annually, reaching upwards of 100,000 people.
