City Council candidate John Quaglione proposes NYC Independent Theater Week
City Council candidate John Quaglione— who’s running in District 43, consisting of Bay Ridge, Dyker Heights and Bensonhurst— proposed the establishment of a New York City Independent Theater Week to be organized and promoted by the city’s official marketing organization known as NYC & Company.
Quaglione announced the proposal during his remarks at a “Meet the Candidates” forum sponsored by The League of Independent Theater on Wednesday night at Manhattan’s Kraine Theater. The League is an organization for the independent theater and performing arts population of NYC, serving more than 50,000 independent performing artists.
The keynote address at the meeting was delivered by Julie Menin, commissioner of the New York City Mayor’s Office of Media and Entertainment.
