The Brooklyn College Department of Theater produces seven to ten shows a year — up to four Mainstage productions in the proscenium-style, 488-seat George Gershwin Theater and up to six "black box" productions in the 120-seat New Workshop Theater — directed by faculty and MFA directing candidates.
These shows provide undergraduate and graduate students plenty of hands-on experience in all phases of theatrical production.
This production activity also provides cultural enrichment for the community, which has shown great appreciation and support for departmental productions.
In the summer of 2010, Brooklyn College will break ground to build the new Tow Center for the Performing Arts, a state of the art theater facility housing the Brooklyn Center for the Performing Arts, the Music Department, and the Theater Department.
