On our open-air pavilion theater stage, in our black box theater, across our expansive grounds-and in our surrounding communities-ps21 cultivates and presents productions that transcend boundries and revitalize artistic conventions.

Performance ticket sales make the compensation of the various artists possible. Ticket sales and robust fundraising from individual supporters, government and institutional funding and cultural services of international government agencies allow the organization to secure world class music, theater, and dance performers. An ambitious program of innovative multidisciplinary performance each successful season provides the funds needed to continue scheduling future performances, community engagement education activities, and residencies, and ensures that this unique opportunity to provide the community increased access to the arts will continue.
