East Village Playhouse Opens
2/14/2018 3:13pm
A brand new performance space has opened in the downtown theatre scene, the East Village Playhouse (340 East 6th St) now occupies the former music shop Tribal Soundz. A destination for thriving and aspiring musicians and recording artists, the shop shuttered in 2008. Now the once vacant storefront has been revived for the first time in a decade as the East Village Playhouse, an arts destination. The 50 seat East Village Playhouse was founded by Laurie Meadoff, founder and president of CityKids, and board member and theatre producer Don Hoffman as an answer to the lack of theater spaces for up and coming artists. By day, the new venue houses CityKids, a 33-year-old organization where youth turn their pain into purpose and become artists and agents of social change, and by night it is home to culturally relevant plays and musicals produced and performed by local artists.For more information visit EastVillagePlayhouse.com
