What’s On at Laura Pels Theatre
The Laura Pels Theatre is renowned for its commitment to producing new works by both established and emerging writers, as well as reviving classic plays. Currently, theatergoers can enjoy some of the most compelling new writing Off-Broadway here, and we particularly recommend Liberation, written and directed by Tony Award-nominees Bess Wohl and Whitney White. Their new play is set in 1970 and follows six women, strangers to each other, who gather in a basement gymnasium determined to transform their lives and the world around them. This is just one of the exciting shows running at the Laura Pels this year, in a season that confirms why the venue is a top destination for fans of innovative and thought-provoking storytelling.
About the Laura Pels Theatre
The Laura Pels Theatre is one of a handful of Off-Broadway venues located in the NYC theater district. It promises all the excitement of the Great White Way, and the buzz of watching excellent plays and musicals in an intimate setting.
It is located in the Harold and Miriam Steinberg Center for Theatre, along with the tiny Black Box Theatre, and was developed with the financial backing of the Harold and Mimi Steinberg Charitable Trust. Harold Steinberg created the Trust in 1986 to channel his passion for American theater into financial support for playwrights, new work and not-for-profit theater companies.
Audiences visiting this contemporary venue will enjoy feeling close to the stage from all points of the auditorium, which boasts clean sightlines and very few distracting architectural features.
The Laura Pels Theatre is operated by Roundabout Theater Company, and is a hub for new work by established playwrights and revivals of classic plays. It started as it meant to go on upon opening in 2004, with Lynn Nottage’s Intimate Apparel starring Viola Davis. In the years since, acclaimed productions include Joshua Harmon’s Bad Jews , a revival of Merrily We Roll Along , and a musical adaptation of Scotland, PA .
