The Secret Theatre

The Secret Theatre is an off off Broadway house that was established in The Long Island City Art Center in July 2007 by Actor/Director Richard Mazda. It can seat slightly under fifty audience members. The theatre is making a well-earned reputation as a home for The Queens Players and also through its 'repertory' style policy of mounting an average of over 9 mainstage productions in a year. The inaugural production featured an original work by Joel Schatzky which starred Bill Krakauer father of noted Klezmer musician David Krakauer. Bill is an 80-year-old psychotherapist turned actor who took on the challenging lead role of a conductor who escaped persecution by the Nazis by emigrating to America to pursue a musical career. Subsequent productions in The Secret Theatre's first season included 'Theatre of Horror', a mainstage production featuring original plays from the Grand Guignol, A Christmas Carol, Lysistrata and Edward II by Christopher Marlowe.

The production of Edward II was filmed and is currently in post production.
