St. George Theatre

Opened in 1929 on Staten Island, the St. George Theatre was built as a vaudeville house and movie palace with an ornate lobby and auditorium typical of late-1920s theatre design. After decades of varied use and periods of decline, the theatre was restored and reopened for concerts, stage productions, and community events. It remains a major performing arts venue on Staten Island and a focal point of local cultural programming. The building's historic marquee and interior ornamentation are commonly noted features in accounts of New York's neighborhood theatres.
