A very nice theatre, attractive and clean. They had some of the most attentive and friendly ushers Ive ever seen!I went to see the Nativity show, and I plan to see it again next year, God-willing! Well done! to the Director and talented cast of singers and dancers! One of the best and most interesting plays Ive ever seen. Very enjoyable afternoon! Congrats and continued success!

Blak, Whyte Gray - an amazing dance performance!

This is a nice theater and there is practically a very good view from everywhere. Drawbacks: Not much space from row to row in the mezzanine, particularly the first row got uncomfortable after a while and a major problem is that there are only two small restrooms for a large audience. The production of Shakespeare Richard III under the auspices of Lincoln Center was excellent.

The theater has comfortable seating and great sound. The view is good from any seat. It was my first time at that theater and Id go back for other great shows.

Its kind of a maze - leave yourself plenty of time to get to the bathroom and back - and the staff was a bit brusque, but the theater itself is lovely. No bad seats in the house, great acoustics.

Im not a student at the school, but Ive been here a few times to see talks during the World Science Festival for the past few years, most recently in May 2019. Its a beautiful venue and you get to experience an intimate conversation with the speakers on the stage.

Here to see Nativity...they have their process down to a science. They handled the large crowd in excellence. The audio visual experience was top notch...kept looking around to see if I had accidentally ended up on Broadway!

Good, inexpensive performances here, but, for a new theater, the seat pitch is poor; its actually painful to me in the balcony (the orchestra is better). Helpful hint: the restrooms where the signs direct you are limited; instead, head left toward the library, left again toward the vending machine, and left again to restrooms unlikely to be used during performances.

This is an awesome place. Great views anywhere you might sit, as the stage is set up in such a way that it’s presented very appropriately.

We came here to see the closing show of Mummenschanz.It was the first time I’ve ever been to this location. Our seats were in row L, on the aisle and everything on stage was clearly visible.The show is silent but row L is the Iast one under the balcony.The lobby was vast and there were ample rest rooms on both sides.It’s NYC so no parking. We arrived by cab and walked to 57th Street to catch another to home because the is little public transport nearby.I would come to another show here if there a interesting show.

Had a mostly great experience in this theater. One suggestion is to minimize the street traffic noise that filters into the theater walls.
