About the Theatre
New York’s home for performance innovation since 2006, Theaterlab is a not-for-profit arts organization in the heart of Midtown Manhattan, dedicated to supporting NYC’s most daring artists and culture workers. Under the leadership of Founding Artistic Director Orietta Crispino and Managing Director Andy Lynn, Theaterlab creates essential space for artistic risk, serving as both an incubator for new work and a vibrant gathering place for audiences seeking transformative experiences.
Housed in a former Garment District factory and featuring three signature all-white performance spaces, Theaterlab offers a pristine creative canvas for work that defies categorization, with a distinct emphasis on amplifying diverse voices and fostering interdisciplinary collaboration. The organization is guided by a dedicated board including Jolene Noelle (St. Ann’s Warehouse) and Nicolò Sbuelz (The Juilliard School, The Metropolitan Opera).
Theaterlab’s artistic model balances full productions with vital developmental platforms. Its programming includes the Theaterlab Presents season of professional productions; the First Look Series for emerging artists and companies; the Hotel New Work residency; and the Space-to-Create rental program, which hosts New York’s independent theater community for rehearsals, workshops, and readings. The theater also champions free community initiatives like Round The Block! and Every Body In The House, ensuring broad access to the arts.
