Support

As Manhattan’s first performing arts center, City Center plays a vital role in bringing the performing arts to New Yorkers in all five boroughs—and your support makes it all possible. In 1943, Mayor Fiorello La Guardia declared City Center as “the people’s theater” and we strive every day to champion the work of extraordinary artists and to inspire you our audiences with programming that reflects the eclecticism, energy, and spirit of the city for which we are named.
