Lucille Lortel Theatre, Off-Broadway theater in West Village, Manhattan, United States.
The 299-seat theater features a white stone facade with central entrance doors and marquee displays for current productions on Christopher Street.
The building opened in 1953 as Theatre De Lys before receiving its current name in 1981 as an anniversary gift from Louis Schweitzer to his wife Lucille.
The theater launched 'The Threepenny Opera' in 1955, which ran for seven years and established the reputation of Off-Broadway productions in New York City.
The theater offers online ticket purchases, membership programs with no service fees, and maintains regular performance schedules throughout the theatrical season.
The foundation converted to non-profit productions in 1999, focusing on experimental works and supporting emerging playwrights through dedicated development programs.
