Theatre Row Building

The Theatre Row Building is a complex containing five Off-Broadway theatres and a studio space at West 42nd Street in Manhattan. The individual venues have varying capacities, ranging from small and intimate to medium-sized, creating space for different types of theatrical productions.

The complex was created in 1976 as part of an effort to transform the neighborhood from entertainment venues into artistic spaces. This revitalization turned the area into a major hub for independent theater in New York.

The five stages inside provide platforms for contemporary plays and experimental works that reflect the area's diverse artistic life. Visitors can witness independent theater creation in New York and see how artists mount innovative productions on smaller stages.

The building sits between 9th and 10th Avenues and is easily accessible by public transit. It helps to check the performance schedules in advance since the individual theaters have different show times.

The complex underwent major renovations in 2019 that renamed the theaters and updated facilities to attract contemporary artists. These improvements repositioned it as a cornerstone of the local Off-Broadway scene.
