All funds raised through venue rentals support PS21’s adventurous programming, our free community initiatives, and the preservation of the land and trails that make up our 100-acre landscape
PS21’s facility, completed in 2018, is a 300-seat open-air proscenium stage protected by a pavilion roof, which can convert into a geothermally heated and air-conditioned black box theater seating 100. The new facility is built with technologically advanced systems that can accommodate all levels of artistic needs–from the analog use of our extensive system of sprung dance floors so critical for the safety of movement-based performance, to our state-of-the-art lighting and sound capacities. The theater features one of the only fully LED green theatrical lighting systems in the country.
Both spaces are flexible and reconfigurable performance spaces and sound stages, available to be rented and repurposed for audio and video recording, rehearsals, and workshops. The stage is a 60′ by 43′ space, outfitted with a wide range of production equipment, and is ideally suited for multi-track digital recording, accommodating solo artists and ensembles from chamber groups to jazz combos. The space is also well positioned for video recording, providing a professional and sleek canvas on which to stage video recording projects. Dance ensembles are particularly fond of the fully sprung wooden dance floor and options for black and white marley floor covering.
