Ashley G. • October 6, 2017Enjoyed seeing The Hungry Caterpillar Show here. Clean theater and comfy seats.

Nicole S. • June 16, 2015Small theater with good rake so all seats are good. 1st row involves looking up but not too steep.

Will H. • October 8, 2018The Pacino retrospective was a treat to catch so many gems in 35MM. Love the renovation but no reserved seating and the theaters can be cramped.

Maria T. • September 15, 2013Smart productions & great space. Always expect to be challenged

An X. • July 6, 2010Excellent film selection. Just be sure to arrive early - the theaters are very small.

Nicole S. • February 3, 2016Often excellent new plays in this cozy space. Note you must climb stairs to get in & bathroom is located on stage.

Sara Y. • May 9, 2015So many little theaters! So many choices! Also dinner in the library is lovely.

Jaclyn R. • January 22, 2019Truly the best NY experience. Loved every second and would go again! Totally mind blowing. Recommend volunteering!

Cloe B. • January 10, 2015Cute independent theater. Screens are not as big, but the charm (exposed brick walls and unique details) make up for it!

Dave L. • February 20, 2012If you're a writer, director, or actor: Shelter Sunday is a must. The Shelter develops original theatre for the NY stage, and Shelter Sunday is where it all begins. More at: theshelternyc.org

The Shelter • February 1, 2013If you're serious about your acting career, enroll yourself in a TSS scene study class. And if you're in the building on a Sunday, check out our Shelter Sunday workshop for theatrical artists.

Education Nation • September 23, 2011Give back to the program that gives so much to the community. Tada! accepts donations of costumes, set design, etc. Get imaginative!

aztec e. • September 16, 2010Did a show here this summer. Terrific, capable staff and production people. Friendly artistic director and PMs. We'll probably look into doing something again here outside of the festival format.

Pat D. • February 22, 2015Dress in layers that can be added or removed, climate control is not this joint's strong suit.

Jessica N. • November 26, 2013Monday Night Magic was amazing! Get the VIP seats-- so worth it. And aim for a night when Jade performs!

Eric Z. • November 20, 2011A small, hole-in-the-wall theatre with an awesome taste for improv. Warning: sitting in the front row? You're asking for it!

ᴡ A. • November 15, 2014Incredibly talented actor, intriguing story line. You will love it.

Paul G. • March 26, 2023Hidden away, but a great intimate performance space.
