Fantastic news for Northside !!!
NEST is pleased to announce that American Legacy Theatre and the Park Theatre Group will be the future occupants of the former Park Theatre!
You may remember that shortly after acquiring the building in spring 2025, NEST hosted a public engagement event to hear community members’ ideas and hopes for the space. "We heard from our neighbors that folks want to see the building active throughout the day and week and for the building's 'audience' to reflect Northside’s diversity. This input guided our intensive RFP process, and we're thrilled to have found partners who support our neighborhood's vision," says Rachel Hastings, NEST's Executive Director. American Legacy Theatre and the Park Theatre Group will meet these community-identified needs through positive and inclusive performing arts programming.
Fun fact: ALT and PTG applied to our RFP separately, but when we talked with them and discovered that they share common vision for their orgs and the space, we offered to set them up on a blind date! They both said yes!
