What’s On at Minetta Lane Theatre
The Minetta Lane Theatre is well known for being home to contemporary and barrier-pushing projects, ranging from musicals, stand up comedy specials, Broadway workshops, and audio dramas. Their commitment to this tradition is evident in their recent productions, including I’m Almost There - which transferred direct from the prestigious Edinburgh Fringe Festival - and Girls & Boys starring Carey Mulligan. This tiny but mighty Off-Broadway venue is a must-visit for anyone who wants to get a feel for the sort of exciting and experimental productions that are waiting away from the bright lights of Broadway and Times Square. Tickets for next year aren’t on sale yet, but keep an eye on listings for announcements of new events.
About the Minetta Lane Theatre
Tucked away in the West Village area of Greenwich Village, Minetta Lane Theatre in New York has been enthralling theatergoers with some of the very best Off-Broadway entertainment since 1984.
This intimate theater is unassuming from the outside - so small it is easy to miss when you walk past! However, behind its humble facade is a cozy 397-seat auditorium with a reputation for hosting hugely influential and innovative performances. Shows that have performed here include Marvin’s Room in 1992 and The Last Five Years in 2002.
The venue is operated by Liberty Theatres, and in 2018 broke new ground by striking a deal with Audible. The online audiobook and podcast giant has a sub-section known as Audible Theater that records live plays and readings; Audible produced a transfer of Boys and Girls starring Carey Mulligan at Minetta Lane Theatre and has since financed a number of plays, comedic shows, panel discussions and more.
As its partnership with Audible flourishes and more dynamic small-scale and new writing productions debut, this modest but mighty venue continues to be a gem of the NYC theater scene.
