Founded 20 years ago, PS21 has grown into a series of music and theater, dance and film. For many years the concert stage opened in the summer season, under a tent, but in 2018 it expanded into the cold months in a new all-weather space.
A black-box theater now allows for flexible sound, lighting and space. In warm weather, the east wall opens to form a larger pavilion theater. In July and August, visiting artists perform new work and lead workshops and family actitities in a festival of film outdoors on the big screen and dance and music in many traditions — acoustic and classical, West African and jazz and more.
