THE APOLLO FAMILY SERIES

About The Apollo Family Series
For many adults, particularly those who grew up in Harlem, The Apollo Theater was their first exposure to the performing arts and has long served as a source of first discovery of live music, dance and theater.  The Apollo Family Series extends the Apollo’s commitment to enhancing the life of the community through programs that engage parents, children and extended family members.

 In 2006, the Apollo debuted its first Family Series production, a celebration of the 40th anniversary of Kwanzaa.  The Series presents a set of 5 to 8 annual productions based in music that engage topics meaningful to Harlem’s communities, each production accompanied by in-depth education programming. The Apollo Family Series is an integral part of our continuing efforts to reposition the Theater as a multifaceted cultural center, providing high-quality, educational performances and artistic programs for a diverse audience.
