Theater Description

The Alchemical is a creative space with six white box-studios and a gorgeous rooftop for the performing and visual arts. A true artistic laboratory where artists can engage in the research and development of new work through rehearsal, teaching and performance. 

Our brand new space was designed and built specifically for your art, connection, respect & inspiration. Our two performance spaces & four other affordable clean rehearsal studios are uniquely inviting spaces for rehearsals, performances, readings, photography & video shoots, workshops, dance, fashion, lectures, auditions, screenings and more.
 
We are proud to run an organization which serves a great diversity of NYC and international artists. The Alchemical is a safe haven to work in and create. It provides a uniquely inviting social atmosphere in which serious artists can find community and support. We closely attend to the needs of everyone who works here, and strive to maintain a respectful and constructive atmosphere to support the community we happily serve. We are an artist-run facility and understand the importance of your work.

By providing affordable space to emerging artists, as well as to established organizations who seek The Alchemical’s intimate environment, we strive to catalyze our dedication to supporting research into the contemporary meaning and nature of live performance.
