Lehman Stages is a professional arts component of Lehman College. We manage and develop specific performance and event facilities operating under the auspices of the Division of Administration and Finance. We provide rehearsal, performance and conference space for arts, civic and government organizations throughout New York City and beyond. We create original cultural programming and initiatives that benefit the students of Lehman College and the Bronx community, and we provide comprehensive production services to our vital Music, Multimedia, Theatre and Dance Department here at Lehman.
Lehman Stages is a unique organization within CUNY. A hybrid of sorts. Not just a producing and presenting entity - we are a community of professionals who are dedicated to nurturing the emerging artists here at Lehman and the Bronx. Not only a rehearsal and performance facility - we serve as a bridge for the Lehman student between the academic and professional worlds of performing arts. Not simply a production services company - Lehman Stages creates opportunities. Opportunities for the community to come together. Opportunities to improve the quality of life in the Bronx, for ourselves and our children.
Lehman Stages serves the students, faculty, and staff of Lehman College. We also serve the Bronx, lower Westchester and the larger New York City community. Our facilities host over 70,000 people annually.
