Oh no it isn’t!

Oh yes it is!

A pumpkin, a slipper and an audience that shouts back.

Our first show is Cinderella. Proceeds will support New York charities, and everyone is welcome to play a part in making it happen.

About the show

Theater made for the joy of making it together.

New York has no shortage of theater. What it has far less of is theater made simply for the joy of making it together.

Bleecker Street Panto is a volunteer-led community production, bringing friends, neighbors and first-timers together with experienced theater-makers, on stage and off.
