New Ohio Theatre

The New Ohio Theatre is an experimental performance space in West Village dedicated to innovative theatrical productions and contemporary work. The venue contains multiple performance areas that host shows throughout the year.

The theatre was established as an independent arts venue and has remained central to experimental work and emerging artists for decades. It became a foundation of Manhattan's off-off-Broadway theatre ecosystem and independent creation.
