Provincetown Playhouse, Historic theater in Greenwich Village, Manhattan, United States.
The Provincetown Playhouse occupies a four-story structure at 133 MacDougal Street, featuring a 180-seat performance space and traditional stage configuration.
Originally a stable converted into a theater in 1918, the venue became the permanent home of the Provincetown Players after they relocated from their previous location.
Eugene O'Neill premiered many of his early works at this theater, establishing it as a cornerstone of experimental American drama in the 1920s.
New York University operates the theater space, presenting student productions and maintaining regular performance schedules throughout the academic year.
The 1924 performance featuring Paul Robeson and Mary Blair generated national attention when their on-stage kiss sparked demonstrations outside the theater.
