This theater provides excellent sound and sight lines but make sure to meet your friends outside, it's hard to get cell reception once you go through the entrance.

Barney Simon

Having seen many shows in this venue, Not a bad seat in the house. They have a diverse menu of programs. Well placed and formatted to enhance the university and neighborhood community.

NY Tech Meetup

We organize meetups to demo kickass technology at the NYU Skirball Center every month. We release 3 batches of tickets here: http://www.meetup.com/ny-tech/ But they sell out fast, stay tuned ! Read more

Hosted John Kerry and Al Gore, and the recording of The Apprentice's third season finale. The only performing arts center of its kind south of the Lincoln Center. Construction cost = $40 million.

Gabriel Louzao

Ticket central is located right next to the main entrance. You can get discounted broadway , opera and sports tickets if u are an nyu student . They also have amc movie pases that are 8.50

Owned by New York University , the Skirball Center is a 860-seat theater located on the south of Washington Square Park in the heart of Greenwich Village .

Drewski

Theater itself is clean and almost every seat has a good view (even the balcony ), but my seat felt really cramped after about an hour. Also, mild bummer that we couldn't bring drinks to our seats.

Kevin Park

Great theater to watch and put on a performing arts show. Spacious green rooms.

NY Waterway

This is an excellent, modern venue with exciting acts from all over the world. Skirball's stadium style seating and small-moderate size provide fantastic sightlines no matter where you sit.

HashtagNYU

Home to NYU Ticket Central, which has discount Broadway and movie theater tickets, exclusive NYU events , and so much more!

Jenny K

Great performance space - spacious , not too big. Hope to see another production here in the future.

Baratunde

I desperately want "skirball" to be a sport , an ultra-violent, stomach-churning, sport in which people regularly lose limbs but gain respect.

Tribeca

On Apr. 25, the program celebrates the new frontiers in collaboration with Harvard professor Clayton Christensen. Cross-disciplinary Disruptors are honored from a broad range of domains.

Flavorpill

We love that this theatre can seat 850 people but still feel pretty intimate . Read more about Skirball Center here: http://bit.ly/wLbxQ2
