Barrow Street Theatre is the name of both a 199-seat Off-Broadway theatre located in New York City's historic Greenwich House at 27 Barrow Street and a production company of the same name. [1] From 2003 to 2018, the venue was leased to Barrow Street Theatre, a commercial theater company operated by producers Scott Morfee and Tom Wirtshafter. [1] The theater space has been operated by Ars Nova since September 1, 2018 under the names Ars Nova at Greenwich House and the Greenwich House Theatre. [2] The theater space, which opened in 1917, has also been home to SoHo Rep. [3] [4]

While under the jurisdiction of the theatre company, the theater was home to a number of Off-Broadway hits, including Bug by Tracy Letts, Buyer and Cellar , Sweeney Todd and Orson's Shadow by Austin Pendleton. [1] [5] [6]

Following their departure from the Greenwich House theatre, Barrow rebranded as Barrow Street Theatricals and produced a number of Off Broadway shows including Nassim Soleimanpour's NASSIM at New York City Center. [7] [8]
