Officials on Wednesday celebrated the groundbreaking of The People’s Theatre: Centro Cultural Inmigrante, a 19,000-square-foot performing arts and research center in Inwood dedicated to immigrants and the immigrant experience. The new space will carry out PTP’s core values of producing original theater created by immigrants and artists of color, providing free high-quality arts education for young immigrants, and advocating for immigrants’ rights, racial equity, LGBTQIA+ rights, and equitable arts & culture funding in the five boroughs and beyond.
