La MaMa Experimental Theatre Club, Theatre company in Manhattan, United States
The theatre operates in a four-story building at 74A East 4th Street, offering multiple performance spaces for experimental and avant-garde productions.
Ellen Stewart established the theatre in 1961 in a basement at 321 East Ninth Street, initially combining a fashion boutique with evening performances.
The venue has introduced numerous emerging playwrights and performers, including Robert De Niro, Sam Shepard, and Harvey Fierstein at early stages of their careers.

During performances in the early 1960s, actors received compensation through donations collected by passing a hat among attending audience members.
