THEATRE RENTAL

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. 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 Graduations to Town Meetings to Church Gospel Choral performances, as well as the graduation ceremonies of a majority of our Brooklyn high schools. 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, on either side of the Hudson.

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.
