About
The Cherry Lane Theatre in Greenwich Village is New York's oldest continually operating off-Broadway theater, founded in 1924 in a building previously used as a farm silo and brewery. A venue associated with the American premieres of Samuel Beckett and Harold Pinter — including Waiting for Godot — it remains one of the most important and historically resonant small theater spaces in a city of theatrical abundance. A cultural landmark of Greenwich Village's bohemian literary heritage.
The longest continuously running Off-Broadway theater presents classic plays & develops new work.
