Celebrating CUNY STAGES

Join us to celebrate the launch of the CUNY STAGES website! Representatives from theatre venues across CUNY will share their  ideas about how their work is helping to build a robust public university.

The mission of CUNY STAGES is to organize the resources, talents, and shared goals of the 14 represented performing arts centers throughout the City University of New York (CUNY) system.  In so doing, CUNY STAGES facilitates multi-disciplinary artistic collaborations amongst its members that foster participation and creativity through the integration of the performing arts into campus life and the surrounding communities. CUNY STAGES is committed to encouraging and supporting artistic excellence, promoting audience and artist diversity, and providing affordable access to the arts by sharing information and leveraging financial support.

The CUNY Performance Art Presenter Consortium, CUNY STAGES, in New York consists of 24 stages on 14 campuses in the Bronx, Brooklyn, Harlem, Manhattan, Queens, and Staten Island.  Founded in 1847, CUNY is the largest urban public university in the United States with 23 institutions. Supporting a population of 18.8 million, CUNY serves more than 226,000 degree-credit students and 230,000 continuing and professional education students.
