New York University Tisch School of the Arts

The institution is an arts education center in Greenwich Village, New York County, spread across several locations. The facility includes performance spaces, recording studios and technical workshops for theater, film, dance and digital media.

The facility was founded in 1965 as part of the university and carried a different name initially. The renaming took place in 1982 following a generous donation by brothers Laurence and Preston Robert Tisch.

The name honors the Tisch family, whose financial support shaped the institution and formed its present identity. Students use the facilities daily for rehearsals, screenings and collaborative projects in an environment marked by creative work.

The locations lie in Greenwich Village and are easy to reach on foot or by public transport. Visitors should note that the buildings serve primarily as teaching facilities and access to most areas is restricted to students and staff.

More graduates from this facility perform in Broadway productions than from any other performing arts institution in the US. This presence shows the influence of the training provided here on the American theater scene.
