I’m so excited for the programs this new auditorium will host, like the Movies BCM kick-off series, and can’t wait to bring my own sons here soon.” “This beautiful new auditorium will bring family, friends, and neighbors together through art and quickly emerge as a center for joy and community. “Brooklynites of all ages just gained yet another reason to frequent and love the Brooklyn Children’s Museum,” said Brooklyn Borough President Antonio Reynoso. “BCM thanks the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs, the New York City Department of Design and Construction, and the New York City Council for their partnership in realizing the theater, which is expected to serve over 10,000 people annually.” It’s especially wonderful to open this space just as the weather turns colder and Central Brooklyn families seek indoor activities,” said Brooklyn Children’s Museum President and CEO Stephanie Hill Wilchfort. “Brooklyn Children’s Museum is thrilled to be opening this beautiful new auditorium and move theater to serve children and caregivers. “The new, state-of-the art auditorium is a modern event space for the borough now, with the best lighting, audio and other technologies that Brooklyn deserves.” “The Brooklyn Children’s Museum has always brought families together in a safe, enjoyable educational environment,” said NYC Department of Design and Construction (DDC) Commissioner Thomas Foley. Thank you to our partners at the museum, at DDC, and across the City for joining us to get this project done.” “We’re committed to providing extraordinary cultural spaces in communities across all five boroughs, and expanding opportunities for young people and their families to connect with our city’s remarkable arts and cultural offerings. “As the mother of a young son and a longtime lover of Brooklyn Children’s Museum, I could not be happier to help cut the ribbon on this gorgeous new theater space in the heart of Crown Heights,” said NYC Department of Cultural Affairs (DCLA) Commissioner Laurie Cumbo.
