Happy New Year! We hope you had a joyful and safe holiday. The Broadway Stages family is excited to see what 2023 brings as we celebrate our 40th anniversary.  It’s hard to imagine that what began four decades ago with one soundstage in Astoria, has developed into more than 4 million square feet of integrated studio production space including more than 60 soundstages across three boroughs in our city. 

­­We are grateful for our progress and to all who have been a part of our journey in the film and television industry. Our clients, cast and crew of dozens of productions that have filmed at our facilities, the Mayor’s Office of Media & Entertainment (MOME), and our neighbors, community leaders and nonprofit organizations working to bring equity and much needed services and opportunities to the underserved. 

Although the film and television industry are still working to rebound from the effects of the pandemic, we are focused on not just getting back to where we were in 2019 but expanding our growth – growth that is critical to the economic engine of our city.

2022 was a year of conditioning and restoration. The first-ever Film and Television Production Industry Council was established to help ensure the NYC film and television industry remains the production partner-of-choice, and more broadly to promote our city’s creative industry that combines entertainment, culture, commerce, and tourism. Together as an industry, we made progress in effectively playing our critical role in the economic system that defines and supports our neighborhoods, our city, and our state.

We welcome 2023 with great anticipation!  Broadway Stages is committed to continue to do its part to support our industry, the local economy, our environment, and community. Together, may we be inspired, experience new opportunities and good health, embrace the cultural diversity that makes our city great, may we prosper and support those who need assistance, and among all else, may we be filled with gratitude and act in one accord.

It’s going to be a great year! Be sure to follow us on Facebook and Instagram, and subscribe to our newsletter to see what we are up to in 2023. From our family to yours, Happy New Year!
