Penguin Rep Theatre

Penguin Rep Theatre was founded in 1977 by artistic director Joe Brancato and Francine Newman-McCarthy with the aim of establishing Rockland County's first year-round nonprofit professional theatre. Its home, then and now, is a century-old, repurposed barn in historic Stony Point, which has been converted into a comfortable, accessible 108-seat venue. Penguin has grown from a summer theatre to become one of the lower Hudson Valley’s most impactful cultural institutions by employing award-winning theatre artists to make top-notch professional theatre accessible and affordable to the region. Now entering its 48th year of operation, Penguin's mission remains the same: To promote new voices and produce new works for the stage, to nurture and develop emerging talent, and to reach new audiences. Integral to that mission is the development and sharing of enduring stories that offer a wide canvas of emotions, with an emphasis on those that raise awareness of injustice, promote conversation, and offer chances to connect with universal hopes, challenges and dreams. Penguin Rep Theatre is a Co-Op Resident Company at 59E59 Theaters.
