ABOUT PS21 CHATHAM

A beautiful, reconfigurable indoor-outdoor space that appears to have landed like an exotic bird in the midst of a 100-acre former apple orchard in this tiny Hudson Valley town. It’s not the first place you would expect to encounter cutting-edge performance, yet PS21 offers little else.”  — Jesse Green, the New York Times, June, 2021.

PS21: Performance Spaces for the 21st Century is a contemporary arts venue in the Hudson Valley presenting innovative programming by leading and emerging artists in music, dance, theater, contemporary performance, and the visual and multimedia arts.

Since our state-of-the-art theater was inaugurated in 2018, PS21 has evolved into the Hudson Valley’s mecca for innovative programming by leading and emerging artists in music, dance, theater, contemporary performance, and the visual and multimedia arts. In addition to earning a reputation as “a Hudson Valley outpost of the avant-garde” (The New York Times, June 2022) for its exceptional seasons of interdisciplinary dance, theater, and music, PS21 has created PS21 PATHWAYS: Blazing Trails to a Sustainable Future, an ambitious, multi-faceted series of spectacle, performances, art installations, educational workshops, international contemporary circus, and participatory events designed for young and old, individuals and families, all offered for free or at very low cost. Community engagement, education, and free performances will continue to form the heart of PS21 PATHWAYS 2023 season.

PS21 fosters creativity through artists’ residencies and encouraging collaborations between performers working across disciplines and genres. PS21’s mission is to provide support for innovative performing artists and creators and to introduce their work to broader audiences, while also providing the surrounding region with opportunities for arts engagement regardless of economic status, cultural background, or age. In its new, green facility, PS21 offers resident makers and performers involved in the creation of new work the tools and flexibility for successful innovation and collaboration in the development of sophisticated multi-media work.
