Brooklyn
Center is proud of its long tradition of involvement with the Brooklyn Community by way of
offering the Walt Whitman, George Gershwin Theatres and the Sam Levenson Recital Hall for
rental at very attractive rates, making them ideal gathering and performance spaces for
small community, civic and cultural groups, as well as those desiring the full
scope of a professional production crew and fully-equipped theatrical venues.
Over the years the Center has been a
home to a variety of community events from neighborhood dance school recitals to the NYC
Police Academy ceremonies to Church Gospel Choral performances, as well
as the many local producers who wish to bring performers of the highest caliber
to Brooklynites. Graduation ceremonies are also a tradition here at the
Center; a majority of our Brooklyn high schools take advantage of the large
seating capacity of the Whitman Theatre for their commencement exercises.
Almost anything that can be presented to an audience can be mounted on our
stages. In fact,
among one of the most joyous events held on the Whitman Stage was a full wedding ceremony
and reception.
Our rental
rates are contingent upon the type of show or meeting that is contemplated, but whatever
the event, our full staff of highly skilled professionals will help you "nurse"
your performance from the drawing board to full realization and at extremely competitive
prices. The Center has been praised by many producers (most of whom return year
after year) as one of the friendliest, most helpful of any venue to produce a show.
For more
information about rental rates for our facilities and staff, please call Mr. Grossberg
directly and he will be happy to discuss your ideas.
