Description
A space for New York City performances and rehearsals. The building includes a main stage 248 seat Off-Broadway theatre, a 50 seat Off-Off-Broadway black box theatre, four rehearsal studios, an office suite for arts organizations, and the famous Cafe Wha?, which has been a Greenwich Village mainstay since the 1960's. Built in 1907 and converted into a theatre in the late 1940's, the Players Theatre has been a jewel in the midst of beautiful Greenwich Village, serving as a magnet for performing artists and their audiences. The theatre has been home to such long run productions as AN EVENING WITH QUENTIN CRISP, PSYCHO BEACH PARTY, and RUTHLESS (starring then 8-year-old Laura Bell Bundy, understudied by Brittany Spears and Natalie Portman). New productions include the haunting show PLAY DEAD co-written by Teller (of Penn and Teller) and Todd Robbins.
