Theater Description

The Flea was refounded in 2021 with the mission to support and invest in experimental art by Black, brown, and queer artists. The Flea provides space, financial support, producing partnership and other resources so that they may develop and share their vision in community with audiences.

The Flea has three unique and intimate theaters which let us do more of of what we do best: help emerging artists practice their craft, allow established artists to try new things, and mid career artists establish their identity. We encourage your company to take a chance, think big, and produce work in our space. The Flea is known as a premiere venue for music and dance that pushes the envelope. Our small spaces let audiences experience the beauty of an unamplified voice or the thrill of an acrobat flipping mere inches away. A host of theater companies have performed on our stages, including: New Georges, TOSOS, New York Deaf Theater and New York City Children’s Theater.
