The Play Group Theatre's 20,000 square foot performing arts complex is dedicated entirely to Westchester's children and teens... but we're thrilled to welcome guest events to our home.

Rehearsal Studios

PGT rehearsal space includes two open 600sf studios on our mezzanine level as well as a 500sf activity room on our lower level. Our Dance Studio is equipped with wood flooring and a wall of mirror. The activity room is furnished with wall to wall carpeting and a full height window wall.
 

Offices

The Play Group Theatre offices include our administrative offices as well as a convenient box office for ticket sales.
 

Greenroom

The Green Room serves our theatres and includes 2 dressing rooms, backstage bathroom and laundry room. The Green Room is immediately adjacent to the off-stage right wing of the MainStage with access to the lobby area as well.

Lockers

Public facilities include full women’s and men’s bathrooms which serve audiences and event guests. Our lockers are a great place for actors to stash their stuff before rehearsal!
 

Scene Shop

Custom scenery plays a large role in both our live performances and community scenic rentals. Our scene shop supports construction of several original sets each season.
 

Design Studio

Whether we are creating one or one hundred original custom costumes for an upcoming production, the Design Studio is essential for bringing PGT magic to the stage. Home base for PGT's Tech/Design program, the Design Studio is equipped with everything from a computer aided design workstation to a drafting table for hand crafting plans for original scenic, prop and costume designs.
 

Collection Storage

After an original costume, set or prop finishes its run on our stage, it can find a home in our extensive collection storage. Here it waits for its next stage appearance either at PGT or an off-site venue through our community rentals. Rental Info >>
