THE DRAMA LEAGUE THEATER CENTER
The lobby of 32 Avenue of the Americas, home to The Drama League Theater Center
The Drama League is pleased to officially announce that it will open The Drama League Theater Center, a new, state-of-the-art facility that will bring world-class theater artists, emerging talents, and New York theatergoers together under one roof. The Center, located on the lobby level of the historic former AT&T Building at 32 Avenue of the Americas, in the heart of TriBeCa’s arts district, is scheduled to open in late 2012.
The Drama League Theater Center will include a brand-new laboratory/development space for theater artists to create and hone work for future productions, an administrative suite including computer workstations and conference space for artist use, flexible multi-purpose space for educational programming and special events, a box office, design capability for sound/projection/video, and a variety of new programs and audience-focused series. Once open to the public, The Drama League Theater Center will offer artist residencies, play readings, open rehearsals, developmental workshops, lectures, classes, seminars, discussions, conferences, theatre-focused social gatherings and more.
To make this dream a reality, we need help. Thanks to the creative genius of FXFowle, the architects behind Lincoln Center’s new North Plaza and Alice Tully Hall, we need a mere $150,000 to open the venue and make an enormous impact on the future of the American theater. To donate to the “Create The Space” campaign, click on the donation link or contact Drama League Development Manager Toby Newman at (212) 244-9494 or via email at tnewman@dramaleague.org.
The Drama League Theater Center will uniquely serve the heart and soul of New York City. Please consider giving generously as we “Create the Space” to give artists and audiences the home they deserve. To view the official press release about The Drama League Theater Center, CLICK HERE.
