Box Five Theatre was created to reimagine community theatre, making it more welcoming, more collaborative, and more connected to the people it serves.
At its heart, Box Five is about community, creativity, and connection. We are building a space where artists, audiences, and neighbors can come together through productions, cabaret nights, special events, fundraisers, and new work.
We believe community theatre should be more than a place to put on productions. It should be a place to gather, take creative risks, support meaningful causes, build relationships, and give new ideas room to grow.
As Box Five develops, community partnerships and charitable events will remain an important part of who we are. Our long term vision is to establish a permanent Long Island home capable of supporting everything from intimate performances and special events to large scale theatrical productions.
Box Five Theatre was founded by Justin Cimmino, whose involvement in the arts spans more than 20 years. That experience helped shape the vision, but Box Five is being built for something much bigger than one person.
It is being built for the community.
Everyone has a place at Box Five Theatre.
