The Off-Broadway Theatre

Off-Broadway theatres are professional performance venues in New York City with seating capacities between 100 and 499 seats, smaller than Broadway theatres. They host a diverse range of theatrical productions, including innovative, experimental, and original works that may not have the budget or scale for Broadway. Off-Broadway is known for fostering creative risks and producing influential plays, often serving as a stepping stone for new artists and shows before potentially moving to larger venues. It is an essential part of New York’s rich theatrical landscape, offering high-quality performances in a more intimate setting.
