Corona, Queens County, New York, US
Saw a wonderful dance show. Its a small personal venue where the artists can interact with the audience.Dont be put off because it seems difficult to get to. Its really not.They are reopening with health protocols in place.
Very Proud of our theatre in the Queens area . Recently attended Steel Magnolias & Frida Kalo ...The performances were awesome !!!! The staff at the theatre are very considerate : Manger to the Concession Stand staff.
Great Park! Tennis going .. extra busy! 365 days of fun. M
Quiet. Deserted. Probably nothing on today.
Lovely theater. Chicken and Biscuits was an amazing play. Will definitely promote the play and be back for additional events at this theater.
Only theatre I know of queens 👸... located in the heart of flushing meadow ... right by the globe 🌎. Very modern. Venue is diverse. 🤗
I performed there .. it will be perfect if I could manage the sound system
This is one of my favorite venues. Its nearby has excellent shows performances. It has convenient parking and you can always count on having excellent entertainment. Its always a great evening when you dont have to travel into the city to see cultural events. Its a small venue and very very pleasant. The people who work there are extremely welcoming. The venue is not expensive and its very diverse
This place is great - if you love history youll love this place. There is so much history here from the 1930s Worlds Fair to the 1964 Worlds Fair to so many other things that they have had there. This is a fun place to go with the family, I went this winter for the first time since I was a newborn in my stroller in 1964. And cant wait till I go back this spring/fall.
As a small theater, it still can give the impression of being in a large space, with a Greek theater arrangement and great acoustics.I was there for my daughters school performance of The Wizard of Oz. They put on a beautiful, professional-style performance. Having been to school plays before in school auditoriums and gyms, this theater was a real pleasure. I enjoyed the performance not only because my daughter was in it, but because I could see and hear everything.I would definitely recommend this theater for any performance for a small to medium audience. The stage offers everything that a professional show could want, from flying across the stage to coming up from below.The theater also offers local shows from theater groups. There is also an outdoor area that was built for a Worlds Fair.
Came here to see The Queen Bees. It was a yelp elite event that brought me here. I never knew Queens had a theater until that day. Its a fairly decent sized theater and you can purchase small bites and sandwiches to eat. The architecture of the building is unique. You would have never suspected such a building to exist in the park. The building is located right beneath the ruins in the park (the tall circular building that looks like a huge torturing device). Parking was free.The show was enjoyable. Definitely well done for their budget range. I dont know the details but in comparison to Broadway shows who presumable have a lot more funding, this was well done. The performance was not sold out but a lot of people were there. Only thing I didnt like about the show was the transition to the song . I think they could have made that transition a lot smoother. It really felt out of place. A subtle critique is that sometimes when the singers sing really loud in the higher octaves, the voice sounded a little tinny. However, I do understand it can be difficult to preserve the tune quality in that regards.Overall, it was a great performance. Story line was good. I would recommend it to others.
I went for my niece recital and the theater was a bit small but seemed very clean
It’s a nice venue in Queens. However driving there or getting via public transportation is a bit problematic. They need better signs to get there. Once you find the place, they have ample parking spaces, a large hall to meet and chat with friends who attend an event.
Was on location as an extra for a iconic NYC TV Show. Never been before. First thing I thought of, was that famous scene from Men In Black, while the alien roach was trying to climb the tower and take off in a ship and return back to its galaxy. Such a hilarious scene. Will have to return and explore more. The Worlds Fair took place here.
Lovely theater. A gem in queens.
Its one of the oldest theaters in Queens New York....Located inside the Flushing meadows park. The theater accommodates everything from dance to theater to singing and musical performances. Much needed theater for the area. Hope they continue to get funding!
The theatre was intimate and the staff is top notch. Mr. Fernando is a really cool guy. I had a great time while visiting the theatre. They were able to accommodate a large group on short notice and nailed it. Great venue.
The theatre is just amazing. They have great plays (adult and children ), comedy, dancing, performances. Prices are not expensive. Took granddaughter to see Frida Libre play, it was wonderful. A most go place with family and friends.
Fantastic outer-boro spot offering a mix of drama, music and dance. Comfortable seats with good sight lines from almost every seat. Cute cafe in the lobby serving beverages and light snacks. Ample parking. A gem in Flushing.
My son graduated middle school at the QT 3 years ago and it was beautiful. Just as Paul Simons Farewell Tour concert was phenomenal last Saturday, September 22, 2018. I grew up in Flushing Queens during the mid 60s, 70s and 80s. We rode our bikes to Flushing Meadows Park everyday for years.💜😊
I love volunteering at this facility. Lincoln Center school of American Ballet did a free program of what these young people learn to become professional both boys and girls seem to love it. Many started at a very early age. The kids love it and they participated.
Was a member for 30 years. Great venue! Interesting shows! Liked bigger productions like Chix 6 they had in the past. But budgets change. Check it out!
Very nice theater..
Best time ever!
This place was amazing, beautiful interior, and the lighting effects really added to the performance of the night. Unfortunately the food area before the hall did not take credit cards and there was no atm. Besides that, highly recommend.
This theatre is cozy but nice. You have a great seat no matter where you are. We have had shows here and have attended other shows here. The rental price cant be beat for the quality of service.
Came here with a show in April 2018. Its a bit of a walk from the train so leave plenty of time to get there. Its in a lovely location, museum close by, theres not a cafe or restaurant onsite but theres a coffee shop in the Queens museum close by.
GreT space had a great time
Designed by Philip Johnson in tandem with the New York State Pavilion for the 1964 Worlds Fair, the Theater, now the Queens Theater is an International Style jewel that needs some restoration work. It seats about 400 people I think. It is not very large and originally the screen surrounded you.
Who knew that such a lovely theater existed in the middle of Flushing Meadows Park? This theater has been renovated and is state of the art. There is a free shuttle to/from the entrance of the 7 train subway so you dont have to trek through the park at night. The theater is deep in Flushing Meadows. Shuttle service or car is highly recommended.
Good place for the events
We saw a flemenco show at Queens Theater. The show was very enjoyable with very good quality dancers. There is free parking on premises. The theater is not overly big so all seats are good.
Its a small venue but the shows are awesome. We had front row seats at a fraction of the cost vs going to Manhattan. Great class trip!
Looking forward to seeing the Nutcracker :)
The shows at Queens Theater are spectacular, but there are not enough restrooms to accomodate the large audience. I would still recommend any one looking to soak up some culture check out Queens Theater.
Went there for a field trip and the show was very fun
Gorgeous, perfect place for the family to get away from the city and tiny apartments. Enjoy the day with family, go do it. I bet you your going to have a ball. Go now
Definitely fantastic performance today! Sense & Sensibility!
It was. A great time .my cousins daugther was performing and a lot of other kids .amazing an earlier age can do so well ,and on the front of public
You have to come and see Any Exhibition they might have here.check your calendar if events wont be disappointed.the theatre size is somewhat small but that invites to intimacy and conection with the play or movie or whatever they present.
A nice little gem hidden in a much bigger gem that is Flushing Meadow Park.We were watching a production of Hamlet in one of the small theaters. It was very cozy but not claustrophobic. We were very close to the performers but not so much that we were in their way.Each time Ive read Hamlet I do it thinking that the King is guilty and killed his brother just like Hamlet assumes, after meeting the ghostly apparition.The other assumption I would make is thinking Polonius wanted to dissuade his Ophelia from Hamlet because he thought Hamlet only wanted her as a fling.The actor playing Polonius was able to show that, after Ophelia showed the love letters from Hamlet, that he was behind the idea of them courting. A small detail I hadnt picked up just from reading the play.On the former point, watching the play this time I felt that the King, or uncle, is innocent and that Hamlet just went crazy. His grief mistaken with a lust for revenge - and his uncle manifesting as the ire of said revenge.Hamlet was played by a woman, didnt have a playbill so dont know her name. I suppose she did a good job at portraying a person on the verge of, and then going full into, insanity.My instinct is to say that she could have done a better job, or done itdifferently, but Im conflicted because it could be that I find Hamlet himself to be too schizo in his state.Nice theater at a beautiful location, with the Museum right next door. Only complaint is that there was a dance performance that ran into the time of our play. We could hear the stomps next door and it was an annoyance while it went on
Excellent seen princes original band tonight. Another great concert. Thanks to rainbow sound the sound was excellent too.
Good shows in Queen ❤️
Quaint theater. Came to see Calpulli dance company. Note waze will leave you lost somewhere across the park on other side of highway, so use googlemaps to get there instead. If theres a big even parking can be a problem, arrive early.
Lovely theater! Great people!!!
Great experience. Really enjoyed the play. Clean, well airconditioned. Even though seating was older, it was comfortable.
Remarkable documentary in a period 1964 theater designed by Philip Johnson for the 1964 Worlds Fair. The adjacent New York State Pavilion should be restored. The Unisphere is nearby, so is the New York Hall of Science and Queens Museum, Botanical Gardens and the Zoo.
I loved the layout of the place and the parking is awesome. They have diverse calendar of activities too.
It would be nice if there were more lights and signs around the park. Leaving is a maze, signs to all highways lead to dead ends.
I went for my young nieces dance recital and was pleasantly surprised to find refreshments being sold. Cheap beer and snacks plus the money goes to support the theater and park.
Just saw Titan Theater Companys Christmas Carol - exceptional low cost production, fantastic cast, great costumes, simple but effective staging
Beautiful structure that was left to Rot to Hell. So sad. Nice to look at. They should refurbish and have orquestra nights during the summer.
Its a nice theater. Nothing special about it. Has an old feel to it and the seats are stiff but comfortable.
Great little theatre, saw a few plays here. Very pleased. Easy parking.
I was told to put my cell phone away during a performance while I was texting my son who is in the ER. Meanwhile..four other people videotaping the entire performance surrounding me and not a word daid
Neat, clean beautiful a hidden gem.in Queens.
I hated this place because they charged 2,000 dollars to rent, but they didnt allow the people who rented to use their equipment, to me me that stupid and unfair, I dont recommend this to anyone unless you want to pay I slot of money for nothing
Great childrens theater series. Shakespeare and other fare is offered for the parents. And every year, A Christmas Carol!
The spaceship towers and giant globe used as the alien landing site in the Men In Black movie are the remnants of the 1964-65 New York Worlds Fair in Flushing Meadow.
Tucked away in Flushing, this gem is worth discovering! Flamenco Navidad was truly amazing! Thank you!
Supports community events. I like the design.
Offers a convenient option to see some good plays but is not ideal in terms of seating.
Awesome place!
The Titan theater company put on a great Christmas Carol. Always enjoy their shows.
Titan Theater Company gave a top-notch performance of Molieres Tartuffe.
Lovely small theater presenting the arts from around NYC, representing much of the cultural diversity that is Queens, NY

Nice cozy theater. Went there to see a nice representation of the School of American Ballet.

Sea A Christmas Carol, great show. Excellent performances by the cast.
We love this theatre and are lucky to have it in our city.

Excellent place to perform and to attend a vibrant show.
Reasonable prices, comfortable seats, unique bathrooms and sufficient parking.
Its a nice facility with a diverse offering of cultural events.
Very old. Seats are low which can be hard for people to get into. No leg room.
Great place to walk by and not see any information at all of what is going on.
A little small, but very comfortable and great staff!
Clean, nice theater. I saw barefoot in the park.

2021-08-09We had an indoor event due to weather conditions. It was classical Indian dance, which required a great sound system. The acoustics were great! I guess they fixed the issues with with it earlier.Nice set up for snacks and buffet dinner.

2022-05-12Went for Eva Ayllon the other day. The sounds and space were great. We were lucky she was such a dynamic performer. There was one staff member who really went out of their way to make the crowd follow house rules. I wouldn’t mention it, if it wasn’t extreme, but it almost ruined the show. If the staff from this venue ever see this, please make sure your staff isn’t interrupting guests who spent hard earned money to enforce house rules. Review your policies please.

2019-12-17Amazing variety of performances. Friendly comfortable space with multiple theatre areas. You can rent this space. Beautiful haunting architecture left over from a World Fair. Queens Theatre can be hard to find for Ubers and those unfamiliar with area. Navidad by the Calpulli Mexican Dance company is a must see.

2016-07-25What an undiscovered gem of a theatre! Set in a beautiful park with free parking & excellent seating for 495, making it an intimate theatre experience. We paid $55 each for center seats about 10 rows back from the stage!

2022-06-27Attended my sons graduation there. It was nice.
Review №8
2018-10-01One entrance! South of Roosevelt Ave/LIRR/Subway and walk all the way down past the fountain (just south of that). Website and Maps placed stage in wrong location, so we approached from south of the stage and had to walk 1 mile in the dark over uneasy terrain around the closed off stage area to find the north entrances. No easy signs to tell you where entrances are. Once inside (past scanners and detectors) we had to push past 20,000 people to find the VIP entrance. Long, long lines for food and drink in gen-pop. Eat beforehand!
