Small and assuming theater that houses great talent. We saw "Hand to God" at this theater - thought-provoking and humorous script performed by extremely engaging and energetic actors - overall, a marvelous night out! Sign up for the newsletter or membership for specials offers.
This is one of the main venues in NYC to see brand new plays. It's an experimental lab for theater so some of them work and some dont, but if you're looking for something non-conventional & cutting edge check it out.
What a gem, even by NYC standards. First rate org, efficient, easy access and good eateries around. Up close and personal. And fun! Freight elevator ride to stage. Seeing Mope
Great Plays are put on here from well established artists down to budding playwrights and actors. No frills theater for a great night out.
Cutting edge theatre; 2nd Floor space (seems to he stairs only)
They have great play here. They are location on second floor.
Another long running hells kitchen theater.. On same block as intar theater.. Long running. They have 2 spaces on w.52st.. New plays and many other programs..check their website ..unlike other theaters..there's always something of interest going on..whether its a mainstage production or a Youngblood (young writers)..or their Sunday brunch series..etc..
An amazing place for original theater. The current production of Behind The Sheet is not to be missed!
Great black box theater. Easy location to get to with some good eating nearby. Saw a great show here!
Saw a great show here. Nice, safe neighborhood. Nice and cozy theater. Bar is cash only though. They could step this up with ease
I visited this theater for a wonderful play starring my friend #DaliaDavi and an ensemble of amazing actors! You feel the heartbeat of every performer and performance here!! We will return!!! Thank you Ensemble Studios!!
Great black box space with lots of programs and shows supporting local artists.
Great atmosphere. The theater is small, but it creates a uniquely intimate theater experience
Small theater creating huge productions. I love the building, quintessential NYC building. We went to go see Behind the Sheet. Excellent play. Truly magnificent. The staff are friendly. I highly recommend getting a reserved seat. One bathroom but clean and roomy. Use of these photos is strictly prohibited unless you have expressed written consent from the owner. 2019
Cute, quaint- but also up two flights of steep stairs!!! I really mention this because there IS an elevator that seems to be always "out of work". For a space that provides so much love, tears, and laughter- I hope they get that elevator working so that EVERYONE is able to enjoy it !
Go to anything at this theater. You will not be disapointed. First class plays written by emerging playwrights performed by a very professional actors! You will have something to think and talk about with your friends and you may well have bragging rights to say "I saw their work before anyone knew who they were." Go, and bring your friends.
A great place to get a direct access to theater without compromising on quality. A wonderful place to see the next generation of actors.
All five plays were very good. Two of the female actresses
were beautiful.
I highly recommend the EST's plays.
This is where you go to see good new work by rising American playwrights. There are several venues within the space. There are readings, events and full productions (sometimes in conjunction with other developmental organizations).
