St Gabriel’s Catholic Church: 120 Division St, New Rochelle (Division St btw Union/Washington)

Frank J. Auriana Theater at Ursuline School: 1354 North Ave, New Rochelle (just off Hutchinson Parkway)


  • Piano Piano Studios are just a couple min walk from the Lincoln Center 1 train stop, next to Shun Lee restaurant the LDS Temple. Take elevator to 4th Floor.

  • St Gabriel’s is easily accessible from the New Rochelle train station, a 5 min walk. When exiting the train, go up the stairs and cross to the NYC-bound side. Walking out of the station, turn left and follow the ramp under the bridge to Division St. Turn right, and the first intersection at Union is the St Gabriel’s parking lot. We are on the other side of the parking lot in the school auditorium, opposite the church.

  • The Frank J. Auriana Theater at Ursuline School is located in the very back of the parking lot, past the main school entrance, down the hill. There is a roundabout at the bottom for cars to turn around. Taxis and cars are available for hire at the almost equidistant New Rochelle (New Haven Line) and Crestwood (Harlem Line) train stations. Allow 10-15 min for travel to the theater.
