Plaza Theatrical's Performing Arts Academy

The air is humming, and something great is coming!

The pandemic gave us an opportunity to reflect on the history of The Plaza Organization, and with New York reopening, we now have the opportunity to share our vison for the future of Plaza Theatricals... Where We’ve Been (Part 1) Plaza Theatricals’ beginnings date back to 1982 when they first started presenting live musical theatre productions in outdoor venues on Long Island. Under the direction of founder/producer Kevin F. Harrington, the first two summer seasons consiste...d of 4 performances. Kevin, with an infectious enthusiasm and passion for musical theater, transported all the scenery, props, costumes, and technical equipment to the venues using his mom’s station wagon with a U-Haul utility trailer in tow. In those early days, the actors performed double duty as crew members loading-in, setting up and striking all the physical assets of the shows. The Plaza corporate office was Kevin’s dining room table and all scenery and props were stored in his parent’s garage. See more
