Jeffrey Rosenstock, Founding Executive Director of Queens Theatre in the Park, is stepping down after 21 years leading the theatre. This will be his final season at the helm of the theater.
"During my tenure, I led the transformation of an abandoned World's Fair building into a premier performing arts center," said Mr. Rosenstock. "I am proud of our diverse programming and to have laid the foundation for future artistic development."
"Jeff's vision was the driving force in creating an accessible and affordable regional venue for a diverse and changing population," said Frances A. Resheske, Queens Theatre President. "Everyone at the theatre thanks Jeff for his passion and tireless dedication and we wish him the best in his new endeavors."
The board has begun the process of searching for a new Executive Director.
