Barrow Street Theatre, Off-Broadway theatre in Greenwich Village, Manhattan, US
Barrow Street Theatre is an Off-Broadway venue in Greenwich Village with approximately 200 seats housed in a converted space within Greenwich House on Barrow Street. The interior features exposed brick walls and raised stage platforms that create an intimate setting for performances.
The building was established in 1917 and underwent several transformations before becoming a theater in 2003. It developed into an important venue for producing new and experimental theatrical work over the following years.
The venue showcases contemporary works and reimagined takes on classic plays, providing a platform for emerging writers and experimental theatre. It creates space for artists to test new ideas and unconventional approaches to storytelling.
Shows run regularly from Tuesday through Sunday with matinee performances on weekends, and group reservations can be arranged. It helps to check the schedule ahead of time and book early, as the small capacity fills up quickly.
In 2017 the theatre transformed its space into a faithful reproduction of a butcher shop for an immersive production of Sweeney Todd. This elaborate set redesign allowed audiences to step inside the story and experience the action unfolding all around them.
