The Standard, “Your source for LGBTQ+ news and culture, writes,” “Dezart Performs is proud to announce its new home: the Dezart Playhouse, formerly the First Church of Christ, Scientist, an architectural landmark designed in 1957 by Robson Chambers and Albert Frey. Two groundbreaking works, one in art, one in architecture, debuted in 1957 with bold, visionary clarity. On Broadway, WEST SIDE STORY premiered, redefining musical theatre with its fusion of classical form, jazz, Latin rhythms and raw social commentary.”
“This moment is deeply personal and profoundly joyful. Opening the doors to our new home with WEST SIDE STORY—a piece so full of passion, longing, and hope—feels like a beautiful full-circle moment. It’s not just our celebration; it belongs to every audience member, artist, and supporter who’s believed in us. Your love, your loyalty, your laughter in the seats—this is what built the Dezart Playhouse.”
– Michael Shaw, Artistic Director
