About Lehman Center for the Performing Arts

Lehman Center for the Performing Arts is a 2,276-seat theater on the campus of Lehman College at 250 Bedford Park Blvd W in the Bronx. Opened in 1980, it presents a season anchored in music and dance, with frequent Latin, Caribbean, and African diaspora programming alongside jazz, gospel, and family performances. The hall draws audiences from Bedford Park and surrounding Bronx neighborhoods, and its calendar often reflects the borough’s multilingual, multi-genre cultural life. The room’s scale is large enough for touring acts while still reading as a community venue.
