What is Off-Off Broadway?
Off-Off-Broadway refers to theatrical productions including plays, musicals or performance art pieces performed in New York City in smaller theatres than Broadway productions and Off-Broadway productions.
Traditionally, Off-Off-Broadway theaters are defined as theaters that have fewer than 100 seats. Since 2006, many companies that would be traditionally considered "Off-Off Broadway" have started to call themselves "Indie Theater" to promote the unique characteristics of independent theater.
Examples of "Indie Theater" include Richard Foreman's Ontological-Hysteric Theater in the East Village, The Flea Theater in TriBeCa, artist showcases, and performances by emerging theater companies that take place in various venues all over New York City.
