The Theater at Roosevelt Hall
Dear Colleagues:
In anticipation of the reopening of Roosevelt Hall—possibly by the fall semester,
based on our best estimate—I want to share our plans for the building's 350-seat theater.
The theater will open as a new performance space, bringing an array of programming
to the community. The Theater at Roosevelt Hall will offer curated presentations,
including live theatrical experiences, concerts, films, and high-profile guest spotlights.
Ticketed events will create a venue for the public to experience programming that
is thought-provoking and entertaining, while providing an additional revenue stream
for the College.
The theater and newly renovated multipurpose room will also expand our portfolio of
facilities available to external organizations and offer increased opportunities for
conferences and events to take place on campus. Our increased collaboration and engagement
with FSC alumni, corporate and community partners, and the public (Comma after public?) will raise FSC's visibility across Long Island.
Jon Goldstein, who many of you know in his role in Marketing and Communications, will
serve as the inaugural director of the theater, working closely with me and our Office
of Events Management on development, programming, and execution.
Watch for updates as planning progresses on this exciting new initiative for our campus
and the extended Farmingdale and Long Island community.
