Some of the most provoking theatre in NYC is being done here. Recent top productions include Agony and Ecstasy of Steve Jobs and iHomo; both shows hit it out of the park.

black-shirted, fascistic staff, barking instructions at intermission: "take your ticket for re-entry!", and only saying this after you left your seat several minutes earlier and made your way to door!
