“The legal system can force open doors and sometimes even knock down walls,

but it cannot build bridges. That job belongs to you and me.” *

                                                                                          ~ Thurgood Marshall, Associate Justice of the United States Supreme Court

Justice and Mrs. Marshall were early residents of Morningside Gardens.

Theater plays a vital role in society, it affirms universal truths, it provides a mirror to see the truth about ourselves, and it inspires us to do better.

​

Since its founding in 1974, The Morningside Players has been recognized for artistic excellence

and acknowledged for promoting community and engaging the richly diverse

Morningside Heights neighborhood.
