The Jamaica Performing Arts Center is a multipurpose performance venue housed in a completely renovated 1858 landmark building - the former First Reformed Dutch Church of Jamaica. Built in the early Romanesque revival style and designed by master carpenter Sidney J. Young, with the assistance of master mason Anders Peterson, the building features a gabled brick facade with brownstone trim, arched entryways, asymmetrical towers. This beautiful 400-seat theater is surrounded by stained glass windows giving the space an almost ethereal quality.
