What’s On at The Shed
Despite being one of the newest entertainment venues in New York City, The Shed has already earned a reputation as the place to go to watch bold new work and quality revivals, featuring some of the biggest names in theater. This year, catch the legendary Kenneth Branagh in Shakespeare’s King Lear Off-Broadway, direct from its hot-ticket run in London’s West End. Branagh, who also directs the play, is a master of his craft and this is a rare chance to see him in action at an intimate and exciting performance space. Shakespeare’s tale of an ailing king, whose favoritism towards his youngest daughter has terrible consequences, is one of the greatest tragedies ever written, performed by a world-class cast of established and upcoming actors.
About the The Shed
Located on the 5th floor of the multipurpose Shed arts space, the Griffin Theater is one of the youngest and most dynamic Off-Broadway venues in New York. With audience experience and flexibility at the heart of its work, theatergoers wanting to see some of the most exciting cultural events in the city should look no further than this small but innovative space, just 15 minutes away from the bright lights of Broadway.
The Shed opened on April 5 2019 and has fast built a reputation as a leader in New York’s cultural growth. It has showcased a huge variety of exhibitions, events, talks and concerts, including Björk's Cornucopia series. Its flexibility is not just in its programming; the building itself has an incredible shell that can expand or contract to accommodate a variety of events.
Inside The Shed, the Griffin Theater was conceived as an adaptable smaller space that can accommodate thrust staging and other layouts for different performances. It has already hosted some big names you might expect to see on Broadway including Ralph Fiennes in Straight Line Crazy and the premiere of Sondheim’s final musical, Here We Are.
