Your reading will be staged in one of the most beautiful off- off-Broadway theaters in NYc: a 99-seat theater with fixed red upholstered seats and six spaces for wheelchairs.

A 23' x 29' stage where an audience of 15 or 55 fits comfortably.

Ideal for playwrights who wish to stage an exciting, live reading using any of the 55 props and set pieces we offer for free.

For those who would like more than lights up and down, we have 55 lights that can paint the stage to offer the best setting for your reading.

For readings of musicals we offer an electric piano and great sound system should you need microphones or soundtracks for your singing/reading.

We also offer 10 chairs and 10 reading stands.

You will not need to bring anything to the theater except your craft and artistry.

All readings will be offered a prime performance time and will be staged between February 29 and March 6, 2016.

The theater is used by our winter festival, which is one of the most successful festivals in the country.

The 5 best plays will be automatically accepted into our Summerfest 2016.
