Keeping Theater Alive in Queens with Thom Harmon

In this episode, Luchia speaks with Thom Harmon, performer and co-founder of City Gate Productions, an independent theater company supporting the performing arts scene in Queens. Originally from Philadelphia, Thom built a career in fundraising for academic medical research before rediscovering his passion for theater later in life. That path eventually led him to help build a growing theater community in Queens. They discuss collaboration in the arts, the challenges independent theater companies face and why Queens' diversity makes it a powerful home for creative expression.
