About Us

Snug Harbor Cultural Center & Botanical Garden is developing its reputation as Staten Island’s creative center for the performing arts through four strategies:

- Dramatically expanding the breadth, appeal and quality of its performing arts program
- Building a strongly supportive audience through regularly scheduled productions of

  consistently high quality offerings at reasonable ticket prices
- Supporting both emerging and established Staten Island theater artists through the in-house

  productions of carefully selected theatrical works, including musical theater that will appeal

  to local audiences.
- Offering educational performing arts enrichment for community children and educators.

Throughout the year Snug Harbor offers a wide array of performances ranging from Alvin Ailey to the Staten Island Children’s Theatre. Snug Harbor is deeply committed to educating students and their teachers in grades K-12, as well as mentoring college students. The humanities-based educational component of Snug Harbor’s Theatre for Young Audiences draws connections between literary-based theatrical productions and the cultural, social and intellectual contexts that influenced the creation of the work.
