The Parkside Players is a non-profit community theater group which has been bringing affordable live theater to the Forest Hills Community since 1981. Located at Grace Lutheran Church on the corner of Union Turnpike and 71st Road (just south of Metropolitan Ave.) in Forest Hills, New York, the Parkside Players produces three shows per year (fall, winter and spring). Membership is voluntary, however to maintain membership you are required to participate in the production of at least two shows per year. Parkside Players has been awarded the 1998/1999 "Harold" Award for Best Theatre Company in Queens by the Forest Hills Ledger.
