Harlem Stage - The Gatehouse

Harlem Stage is the performing arts center that bridges Harlem’s cultural legacy to contemporary artists of color and dares to provide the artistic freedom that gives birth to new ideas. In 2006, Harlem Stage opened the landmarked, award-winning Harlem Stage Gatehouse—a New York City landmark built in 1890 as the pivotal facility within the Croton Aqueduct system. This historic building has been restored into a state-of-the-art, flexible performance, rehearsal and support space. What was originally a pivotal source for distributing fresh water to the City, is now a vital source of creativity, ideas and culture.
