Designed by the firm of Platt Byard Dovell, the off-Broadway venue is a 199-seat black box theatre, available to be rented out to both commercial and non-profit theatre companies. Located next door to the Roundabout Theatre Company’s American Airlines Theatre between Seventh and Eighth Avenues, it offers these companies the opportunity to perform on the famed 42nd Street.
