The staff here are super friendly and the venue is lovely. Worth the trip from the UK to see The Watson Intelligence.

Anne Myers

Superb! They do new work and really support playwrights and their craft. Just a few blocks from Times Square. You gotta check them out!

One of the best new writing theaters in NY. Often they offer cheap tickets to 1st preview of shows.

DJ Jensen

Theater is on an upper level and the elevator is slow and limited in terms of numbers allowed so get your exercise and walk up the stairs!

Amazing plays, fresh voices and interesting ideas that you'll be talking about all night. Ask about #GenPH

The New York Musical Theatre Festival (NYMF)

Check out NYMF alumni show The Shaggs: Philosophy of the World! A show about a dad & the rock & roll vision he has for his 3 daughters. But when he becomes obsessed, the girls make plans of their own.
