Marcus Garvey Amphitheater - East Harlem, NY
|
|
|
The reconstruction of the existing amphitheater included a complete demolition of the existing structure and new amphitheater and bandshell. The amphitheater includes a 5,400 SF stage house with a large indoor multi-purpose room and renovations to the existing seating area. Existing benches in the seating area were replaced with new benches with seatbacks, built of a durable recycled plastic. A fabric-tensioned roof canopy was installed to shield a large portion of the audience from the summer sun. Marcus Garvey Park is a well-used neighborhood resource with a deteriorating band shell and amphitheater dating from 1969.
