This place is full of rich history and it is in a beautiful community. This Theatre does so much for this community that even an outsider can feel the love and experience the many different cultures that are embraced here and celebrated.
Reminds me of the good old days In NYC. Feels like home!
The building is old NY beautiful with high ceilings with a gorgeous skylight. There is even a beautiful gallery in the lobby to admire during your visit.

Loved the Black History play which consisted of excerpts from several plays. Nice vibe. I found street parking a little less than a block away, but there is a parking garage next door.
Sending Congratulations to the Billie Holiday Theater on their 2023 50th Anniversary!!! I attended their celebratory production yesterday, highlighting the amazing history of plays they’ve produced over the years — wonderfully directed by Joyce Sylvester — and a cast of many of their amazing alumni, including Denise Burse, Pauletta Washington, Kim Sullivan, Phyllis Yvonne Stickney, Dyan Harvey, Peggy Alston, Harry Lennox and many others. I recommend that everyone join & support THE BILLIE HOLIDAY THEATRE an important part of Black Theater and Culture!
Attended a game night it was such a big space and area that I never knew existed. It was rather warm tho. The game night was so much fun I enjoyed the atmosphere. Great place in Brooklyn to have events. Would go back again. Just wish I could get in contact with the organizers for the event space. It would be a pleasure to speak with them in regards to future events.
Beautiful theater. Went to see Reparations, I had an amazing experience. The staff was very professional and courteous, seats were comfortable and best of all, there were many tableaus in the lobby... beautiful display of African American heritage and culture. Will be going back soon!
Love this place, my neice comes several times a year with her son who is theatre major. We have seen several plays even seen stars like Paulette Washington & Denzel Washington picking her up after her beautiful performance. Went to see DOT wonderful play.
The Billie Holiday Theatre, located in the timeless Restoration Plaza, where many Wonderful memories were created. The artwork in the lobby is divine!
It's been a while since I've frequented the theater but it has always been a lovely local neighborhood theater for community residents as well as outside visitors. Loved this theater even before the upgrade. Hope they will have more fantastic plays for us to attend. Courtesy was received upon the day of plays. Small but a Very nice atmosphere.
