The­atre­works, the res­i­dent the­atre com­pany at New York City Col­lege of Tech­nol­ogy, is com­posed of stu­dents, alumni, fac­ulty, staff and com­mu­nity mem­bers. Founded in 1974, The­atre­works has been rec­og­nized in the media and the­ater cir­cles for its com­mit­ment to pro­fes­sion­al­ism in per­for­mance, tech­nol­ogy and the ad­vance­ment of mul­ti­cul­tural cast­ing and crews in plays, videos, mu­si­cals, dance and other events. This unique ap­proach to the­atre has given The­atre­works city­wide recog­ni­tion and an au­di­ence from the greater New York area. The­atre­works is now per­form­ing in the state-of-the-art Voorhees The­atre, where a haunted hotel, the Gravesend Inn, has opened each Oc­to­ber to hun­dreds of spec­ta­tors for over 13 years. Each spring se­mes­ter a res­i­dent group is hosted on cam­pus to work with the The­atre­works stu­dents. Stu­dent tech­ni­cians re­ceive valu­able train­ing by par­tic­i­pat­ing in the light­ing, sound, cos­tume, video, pub­lic­ity and scenery crews for per­for­mances each year. The­atre­works alumni can be found in the pro­fes­sional the­ater, in tele­vi­sion and con­cert venues, and work­ing with many the­ater-re­lated com­pa­nies in their re­spec­tive com­mu­ni­ties.
