About The Venue

The Secret Theatre is a custom built theatre and rehearsal rooms facility in the heart of LIC’s artist’s quarter. Resident Company The Queens Players and visiting NY theatre companies can comfortably seat 99 people and the space has a flexibility which allows us to produce shows either as thrust, proscenium, transverse or other styles of theatre. There are three separate clean restrooms, a box office, a gallery/foyer, and a dressing room for the artistes. Our second performance and rehearsal room POCO Space also has two dedicated restrooms and is suitable for small and workshop style shows and rehearsals.

* Founded by Joe Hodge, celebrity cinematographer and winner of the 2011 Rhode Island International Screenplay Competition and the 2011 American International Screenplay Competition.

Joe launched a successful Kickstarter campaign for Departed Harvest with the actor Luis Guzman (Anger Management, Boogie Nights).
