The historic Kings Theatre reopened in 2015 as one of New York’s premier performing arts venues. 

Providing a destination for large-scale popular entertainment and serving as a resource for local arts groups and community organizations, Kin prides itself as being “a cultural and economic cornerstone of the Flatbush community and a major fixture to Brooklyn’s vibrant cultural landscape.”

The classic 20th-century movie palace was inspired by the French Renaissance Revival style of the Palace of Versailles and the Paris Opera House. 

With over 3,000 seats—the largest of its kind in Brooklyn, the restoration revived the historic structure’s original splendor and transformed the theatre into a state-of-the-art facility.
