History of CubeCity

CubeCity Entertainment was founded by Roberto Munoz. Originally located in the Niagara Peninsula in Ontario, Canada, it was called P.M. Productions. It officially made a name change when the company moved to the New York City area in 2000.

Musical theatre

In 1994, Munoz and his team assembled a troupe of local actors in the Niagara Peninsula to stage the rock musical Job and the Snake.[1] In 1995, they moved up to Toronto, Ontario where they showcased Job in several larger venues. The company then produced various musicals and plays in their workshop theatre space, Trinity Basement Theatre.[2]

In the spring of 2000, they produced a run of Job and the Snake at the Grove Theatre[3] in Los Angeles, California before moving to New York City that fall. In 2001, CubeCity Entertainment was officially incorporated in the State of New York. CubeCity showcased several productions in Off-Broadway venues—beginning with the musical Purim Day.[4] In October 2004, they showcased Job and the Snake, starring Troy curtis and Dale Church.

Musicals and plays

The company's theatre projects include:

  • Job and the Snake
  • Come Away
  • Purim Day
