This summer, the All Stars will be unveiling our newly designed headquarters on 42nd Street – a world class development center for inner-city young people in the heart of New York City. The new façade will feature a three-dimensional, seventeen-foot-high star, which everyone who enters the building will pass through, and the lobby will feature an open theatre where performances will be staged in full view of passersby on the street.
All Stars will be celebrating our Grand Re-Opening throughout the year with a series of special events and performances. We’ve created a Grand Opening Package just for All Stars and Castillo Theatre supporters, which includes tickets to four of our favorite offerings, as described below.
