Performing Garage, Theater venue in Soho, Manhattan, US
Performing Garage is a black box theater with 110 seats located at street level on 33 Wooster Street. The space creates an intimate setting where audiences sit close to the stage and performers.
A former metal stamping factory was converted into a theater space in 1968 when Soho was transitioning from industrial to artistic neighborhood. This conversion made it an early center for the artistic transformation happening in the area.
The Wooster Group founded this space in the 1970s and continues to create experimental work here as their home base. Visitors experience the innovative performance style that this artist collective has developed over decades.
The venue is located in Soho and reservations can be made by calling 212-966-9796. Given the small capacity of the space, booking ahead is wise to secure your spot for a performance.
The seating and stage layout are reconfigured for each production based on what the performance requires. This flexibility allows every show to shape its own relationship between audience and performers.
