The ushers have no idea what's going on. You'd be better off putting on a blindfold and finding your seat yourself because it will be more effective than asking someone. Also the interior is really old and the "bar" is cash only.

A real gem of a place, great live performances and films in a unique and historic setting. I hope Symphony Space, the Peter Jay Sharp Theatre and the Thalia keep thriving in the midst of encroaching development and big box monoculture and gentrification.

A really nice, comfortable performance space with a cool bar. The staff was friendly and welcoming and the place seemed well-run. We did not care much for the "Selected Shorts" show we saw, but I would happily go back to see something else again at this venue-- nice to have a spot like this in the U...

Symphony Space is a New York City treasure! My wife and I have been members for 15+ years and have enjoyed Selected Shorts, movies and concerts there. They have really expanded/broadened their offering and you see a lot more younger people in the audience. Definitely worth checking out their program...

Cool performance space but the procenium arches flanking the stage seemed to block more than expected. Hopefully the folks take that into account when staging their shows there.

The seats in the balcony were angled for optimal viewing. And acoustics were good (although I couldn't tell you if it w...

It it was great until dr. Ruth came on... That brought the whole show down... Matthew is so contemporary and dr. Ruth is so in the past... Matthew doesn't need any help... He was fabulous on his own and his body language showed how uncomfortable he was as the show was not going in the direction he ...

I like that this performing arts center is on the small side but it's big enough for what you need and not so overwhelming. The space is clean, inviting and even has a little lounge area if you need a drink and bite to eat. I love that the bathrooms are clean and spacious and there is a Starbucks ...

There are many great performances that are held at Symphony Space. My wife and I recently went to The Best American Short Stories Of 2019 where three actors read three stories that were included in a recent anthology. The theater was packed and I sensed that the majority of the audience were freque...

This is a cute little theater. We sat in the balcony. While some of the seats have a limited view up there (you get a warning before buying a ticket), ours was perfect. Great sound quality. I especially like this venue for a kid's show, it is large enough to feel like a big show, but small enough t...

Pretty nice place, convenient location for public transportation, Performances take place in the 760-seat Peter Jay Sharp Theatre or the 160-seat Leonard Nimoy Thalia. Programs include music, dance, theater, film, and literary readings. In More
