Family Friendly Shows at the St. George Theater

4/12/09 - By charlotte

This historic theater, once the most lively and gorgeous on Staten Island, was renovated and reopened within the last few years, and is bringing the theatrical heyday back to the island.

The vaudeville house first opened in 1929, with a Wurlizter organ, one of the largest cantilevered balconies ever built, velvet seats, gilded balconies and grand staircases. Today, the theater emits that same old movie house feeling and really has the power to take you back to Olde New York.

OUR LATEST VIDEOS

Big name acts like Tony Bennett and Art Garfunkel have graced the stage at St. George, but so has Nickelodeon’s Blues Clues. The Spanish-Italian Baroque style theater is a very family-friendly venue complete with behind the stage tours, local events like student dance recitals, classic and unique shows and an atmosphere you’ll have difficulty finding anywhere else.

The hour-long tours give a crash course in theater, from architectural design and history to what goes into putting on a show, careers in the arts and theater etiquette. Call up before heading to the theater to schedule a tour.

Some of this years shows are The Wizard of Oz, The Rainbow Fish, The Ugly Duckling, Charlotte’s Web and the B-52’s. Tickets for plays range from around $10-$25, and tickets for concerts range from around $25-$100. Visit stgeorgetheater.com for more information on shows, upcoming events, directions and how to order tickets.

About the Author

Charlotte Cusumano - Editorial Assistant

Charlotte was born in Staten Island, attended the Fiorello H. LaGuardia High School of Music & Art and the Performing Arts, then Hunter College, and currently lives in her home borough. Although her heart is in New York, Charlotte and her husband-to-be are on a quest to visit all 50 states (we'll have set foot in at least 33 of them by the end of 2011!). When she's not working on Mommy Poppins, she's writing on her tumblr.

More About Charlotte

What do you read when you aren't reading Mommy Poppins?   
I'm one of the few twenty-somethings that still reads magazines. I'm talking print. New York is my favorite by far. I do go online, of course. I frequently visit Serious Eats, Slate, Gawker and various tumblrs.

What do you want to do when you grow up?   
Be an editor! A chef! A travel writer! I'm still pretty undecided.

What's your favorite thing about raising kids in NYC?
I'm not a mom—yet. But I was raised here, so I can say with confidence that families can do anything and expose their kids to everything in this amazing city.
