Having spent more than a year offering its artist development and training programming over Zoom during the pandemic, The Barrow Group (Lee Brock, Seth Barrish Co-Artistic Dirs; Robert Yu Serrell, Executive Dir) has announced that it will open a new performing arts center at 520 8th Avenue in April of 2022. Aiming to play a role in revitalizing the hard-hit cultural scene in New York City, The Barrow Group’s new 13,155 sq ft home currently plans a dynamic 60-seat theater, 5 sound-attenuated studios, offices, and a large community gathering space. Phased renovations are expected to begin in February 2022 and are estimated to cost $4 million in total. At the start of the pandemic, The Barrow Group let go of its 10,000 sq ft arts center at 312 West 36 St. The company pivoted its training and artist development programs online and served more than 5,200 professional, beginner, and youth actors, writers, and directors, while employing 39 teaching artists. Please visit https://www.barrowgroup.org/ for more information.
