Under St Marks Theater

Under St Marks Theater is a subterranean performance space that has operated in the East Village since the nineteen seventies. Tucked away in a basement at ninety-four St Marks Place, the venue serves as a cornerstone of the off-off-Broadway movement. Its small, forty-five seat capacity and raw aesthetic provide an accessible home for experimental theater, comedy, and variety acts. Artists gravitate to the stage to test new material and perform in an environment that prioritizes creative freedom over commercial scale. The theater is managed by Frigid New York, a non-profit organization dedicated to supporting independent artists and keeping the spirit of downtown avant-garde performance alive.
