The Living Theatre

Such off-​off Broadway theatre such as this one I remember seeing in Warsaw, Poland — had a very similar vibe. A very small theatre, with regular chairs set up and a small stage, with an adjacent bar (behind a wall\curtain) serving beers, and wine.
Came here for a Fringe NYC Festival play, «The Spider», put on by a friend of mine — a two person show. The stage is simple — black with lighting and great sound. Just enough space for your imagination to run its course during the show.
They also seem to be renting the space out to anyone interested, in private parties or events.

I went to The Living Theater’s Free University evening yesterday and it was wonderful. The people were very welcoming, the vocal workshop was terrific (Sheila’s tremendous warm energy is fantastic, very special), the movement workshop was lovely — and to hear the legendary Judith Malina read from her new book at the end was a real treat. It was great to see that the historic Living Theater is still alive and vibrant.

An excellent off-​off Broadway theatre space, The Living Theatre in the East Village is what most venues try to be but never achieve.
The performance area is excellent with a great lighting grid and room for versatility. The ‘stadium seating’ provides everyone with a good view of the stage.
It is clean, simple and a perfect black-​box space.
The stairs that take you underground to their performance space may prove to be too precarious for some… but it really is a special place and a vital venue for theatre.
