Queens Theatre Revival: Dance, Family Fun, and Cultural Fusions
After a challenging hiatus, Queens Theatre is making a vibrant comeback with three thrilling events: RIOULT Dance New York's energetic performances, the family adventure of Pete the Cat, and the diverse culmination of the Queensboro Dance Festival. These celebrations of dance, friendship, and culture are set to invigorate audiences with their lively narratives and artistic displays, all in the heart of Corona, NY.
RIOULT Dance New York has performed at Queens Theatre many times over the years - and now, after a devastating four-year hiatus due to COVID, RIOULT is back, returning to Queens, with all the energy and enthusiasm accumulated in the interim!
For Pete the Cat, life is an adventure no matter where you wind up. So the minute the groovy blue cat meets The Biddles, he gets the whole family rocking. That is, except for young Jimmy Biddle, the most organized second grader on planet Earth. But when Jimmy draws a blank in art class during the last week of school, it turns out Pete is the perfect pal to help him out. Together, they set out on a mission to help Jimmy conquer second grade art, and along the way, they both learn a little something new about inspiration. Join Jimmy and Pete on an adventure of friendship, all the way to Paris and back in a VW Bus!
Queens Theatre is proud to partner with the 2024 Queensboro Dance Festival, presenting 24 professional Queens-based dance companies of diverse cultures and styles. After a summerlong outdoor tour across the borough, the Queensboro Dance Festival culminates on the stage of the Claire Shulman Theater as a 3-show Grand Finale!
Queens Theatre's revival through RIOULT Dance New York, Pete the Cat, and the Queensboro Dance Festival represents a beacon of hope and creativity. These events, filled with dance, family fun, and cultural diversity, highlight the theatre's role as a cultural hub. As audiences gather to enjoy these performances, they partake in a shared celebration of art and community resilience, marking a vibrant new chapter for Queens Theatre.
