Off-Broadway theatre

Off-Broadway theatre refers to theatrical productions staged in venues in New York City that are smaller than the main Broadway theaters, typically seating between 100 and 499 spectators. These productions often feature innovative, experimental, or emerging talent and can address diverse themes, offering a more intimate and affordable alternative to Broadway shows. While they do not have the same commercial prominence or prestige, Off-Broadway plays are recognized for their creativity and cultural impact, serving as vital spaces for artistic expression and the development of new works that sometimes transition to larger Broadway stages.
