SoHo Playhouse

SoHo Playhouse is a theater in Manhattan with 178 seats arranged in an enclosed space that creates direct contact between performers and audience during shows. The close proximity allows for an intimate and personal theatrical experience for visitors.

The building has theatrical roots dating back to the 1800s and later became an established venue in Manhattan's Off-Broadway circuit. This history made it an important part of the city's alternative theater network.

The venue hosts international productions, stand-up comedy, and theatrical shows that explore current social issues and showcase diverse forms of artistic expression.

The theater maintains an active schedule with multiple performances each month across its season. The small capacity means that seats often sell out quickly, so booking ahead is recommended.

Edward Albee, a former owner, emphasized the distinction between Broadway's visual appeal and Off-Broadway's focus on speech and sound. This philosophy continues to shape the venue's selection of productions today.
