What Irvington Theater does
Irvington Theater is a municipal performing arts venue operated by the Village of Irvington, New York, occupying the entire third floor of Town Hall at 85 Main Street. The 432-seat Classic Revival theater was built in 1902, designed by A.J. Manning and modeled after Ford's Theatre, and has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1984 after a major renovation completed in 1980. The venue features a proscenium stage, orchestra/mezzanine/balcony seating, six gold-leafed boxes, five backstage dressing rooms, upgraded lighting and sound equipment, a state-of-the-art HVAC system, and an assistive listening system.
The theater produces and presents live theater, music, film, comedy, and dance, serving audiences across the greater New York metropolitan area with particular focus on the Rivertowns communities of Westchester County. Programming includes its own produced events such as the annual As iFF international short film festival (founded 2015), the Arts Incubator Short Play Fest (founded 2021), #IrvingtonAnywhere hybrid virtual programming, Sunset Cinema outdoor screenings, and the In Our Own Words social justice series. Co-presentations are delivered with Arts Partners including Broadway Training Center, Clocktower Players, River's Edge Theatre Company, Irvington Shakespeare Company, and Common Ground Concerts.
Revenue is generated through ticket sales (e.g., $5 advance / $7 in-person for Sunset Cinema), venue rentals managed by Theater Operations Director Owen Mannion, and donations channeled through the 501(c)(3) Friends of the Irvington Town Hall Theater, Inc. Governance rests with a Mayor-appointed Irvington Theater Commission, with a staff of approximately 11 led by Theater Manager Greg Allen. The organization has no private ownership, no venture backing, and no public ticker; it is a government-owned cultural facility.
