The Chocolate Factory Theater

The Chocolate Factory Theater exists to encourage and support performing artists in their process of inquiry. We engage with a community of artists who challenge themselves and, in doing so, challenge us. We believe that by supporting the labor of artists and the public presentation of their work, we contribute to elevating New York City as a thriving and more equitable wellspring of ideas.

We are an artist-run and led incubator for experimental performance, an artist service organization, a local Western Queens community anchor and place of pride; a loud voice in the City’s work to increase funding and awareness of the power of the arts; and an international destination to see high-quality ground breaking performances outside of Manhattan.
