About Cherry Lane Theatre

Cherry Lane Theatre is located at 38 Commerce Street in New York, NY, in the West Village. The building dates to 1817 and was originally a farm silo before later serving as a box factory and tobacco warehouse. It was converted into a theater and opened as Cherry Lane in 1924. The venue was acquired by A24, which reopened and operates it; it reopened under A24 in 2025. The main theater seats approximately 179 guests, with an additional smaller studio space seating roughly 60.

Widely cited as the oldest continuously running Off-Broadway theater in New York City, Cherry Lane Theatre has a storied place in the American Off-Broadway movement and 20th-century theatrical history. It has long been associated with premieres and early productions tied to major American and avant-garde playwrights, including Edna St. Vincent Millay and the Cherry Lane Players, along with work by writers such as Samuel Beckett, Eugène Ionesco, and Edward Albee during the rise of Off-Broadway and absurdist theater.

Today, Cherry Lane Theatre hosts stage plays and theatrical productions, special one-night-only performances, film screenings paired with Q&A conversations, talks, and intimate live events. After its A24 reopening, programming included a screening of “25th Hour” with a Q&A featuring Spike Lee, continuing the venue’s role as a small but influential room for performance and conversation.

Location & Transportation

Cherry Lane Theatre is located at 38 Commerce Street, New York, NY 10014 — on a short, crooked, tree-lined West Village street near the neighborhood’s restaurants, bars, cafés, and subway access.

Transit: Cherry Lane Theatre is well served by the West Village’s dense subway network. The Christopher Street–Sheridan Square station on the 1 train is the closest stop, while West 4th Street–Washington Square station, served by the A, C, E, B, D, F, and M trains, and Houston Street station on the 1 train are also within walking distance. Transit is highly practical for this venue.

Driving and Parking: Driving into the West Village can be difficult because street parking is extremely limited and subject to meters and regulations. Paid parking garages are available in the broader Greenwich Village and West Village area, though they can fill and tend to be costly. Most patrons arrive by subway, taxi, rideshare, or on foot.

Rideshare: Rideshare drop-off and pickup are convenient, but Commerce Street is a narrow, quiet side street. Drivers may route to a nearby corner on Bedford Street, Barrow Street, or Seventh Avenue South. After the show, expect typical rideshare demand in a busy nightlife neighborhood.

Nearby Accommodation: Numerous hotels are available throughout Greenwich Village, the West Village, nearby SoHo, and Chelsea, all within short cab or subway rides of the venue.

Venue Navigation

Cherry Lane Theatre is a compact, intimate theater, so navigation is straightforward once you reach Commerce Street. Because the venue sits on a narrow West Village side street, knowing the address and allowing time to find the entrance can make arrival easier.

Entrances and Access: Guests enter through the single main entrance on Commerce Street. The venue’s small scale keeps the lobby and entry flow simple.

Seating Levels: Cherry Lane Theatre has intimate single-level theater seating in the main house, along with a smaller studio or secondary space for select programming. It does not have a large tiered concourse system, and nearly all seats are close to the stage.

Getting to Your Section: Finding your seat is simple with house staff direction. In the main theater, the room’s small footprint means front, middle, rear, and side seats are all relatively close to the performance.

Dining Options

Outside the Venue — West Village

Cherry Lane Theatre sits among the West Village’s celebrated dining scene. Commerce, Bedford, Barrow, and Hudson Streets are lined with acclaimed restaurants, bars, cafés, and historic spots, with abundant options for pre-show and post-show meals throughout Greenwich Village.

Security & Policies

Cherry Lane Theatre maintains security and venue policies that are updated regularly and may vary by event. Before attending, reviewing the current policy on the venue's official website is strongly recommended.

Entry Procedures: Digital ticket verification is standard, and guests should expect typical small-theater entry procedures. Arriving with tickets ready on your phone helps keep the line moving at the entrance.

How Much Do Tickets to Cherry Lane Theatre Cost?

Cherry Lane Theatre ticket prices vary significantly depending on the type of event, the artist or team, seating section, and demand — which is what you'd expect from a venue that hosts everything from Off-Broadway plays to special performances and screenings with Q&A guests.

For plays and theatrical productions, tickets typically fall into moderate Off-Broadway pricing, often around $40–$100. In a house of approximately 179 seats, seat location can still affect price, especially for front and center positions.

For special performances and screenings with Q&A conversations, prices can vary by guest and demand, often starting around $50 or more. One-night programming can move quickly when a featured performer, filmmaker, or speaker draws strong interest.

Because the house is small, popular performances and special one-night events can sell out quickly; buying earlier secures better availability. As inventory shrinks and the date approaches, prices for the best remaining seats can rise.

Cherry Lane Theatre Seating Guide

Cherry Lane Theatre offers an intimate single-level seating experience, with roughly 179 seats in the main theater and a smaller studio space used for select programming. The room’s scale means sightlines are strong throughout, but seat choice can still shape how close you feel to the performance.

Best Seats at Cherry Lane Theatre

• Best value: Rear and side seats are typically the most affordable, while still keeping you close to the stage in a compact Off-Broadway house.
• Closest to the action: Front rows place patrons just feet from the stage, creating the most immediate view of the performers.
• Best overall experience: Center seats toward the front and middle of the house offer the strongest balance of sightline, proximity, and atmosphere.
• General admission: Reserved seating is used for ticketed performances, though some special events can be configured differently.

You can view an interactive seating map for Cherry Lane Theatre events directly on BoxOfficeTicketSales.com while browsing available listings. The map lets you compare sections side by side, check row depth and distance from the stage, and see real-time pricing for what's currently available — all before committing to a purchase.

Can I See Where My Seats Are?

Yes. The interactive seat map on BoxOfficeTicketSales.com shows your exact section and row placement before you buy. Use it to understand your position in the venue, your distance from the stage, and whether you're in the front rows, centered in the middle of the house, or in rear and side seats — so the tickets you choose match exactly what you're looking for on event night.

Getting Ready for Your Cherry Lane Theatre Event

Once your tickets are confirmed, a few practical preparations make the night run significantly smoother — especially at a small West Village venue on a narrow side street where many guests arrive on foot or by subway.

• Download your tickets before you leave. Save your tickets to your phone's wallet or screenshot them before departing so you're ready at the entrance without needing a signal.
• Charge your phone fully. Digital ticketing is standard, and your phone is your entry. A portable battery pack is worth having for a full evening.
• Arrive early. Give yourself time to navigate the West Village’s maze-like streets and find the tucked-away Commerce Street entrance.
• Wear the right footwear. Commerce Street is a short, quiet side street, and walking in the West Village can involve cobblestone-era blocks and uneven sidewalks in places. Supportive shoes are helpful if you are walking from transit or nearby restaurants.
• Dress in layers. Cherry Lane Theatre is indoors, but most patrons arrive on foot, so dress for the walk to and from transit through the neighborhood.
• Build extra time into your transit plan. The subway is the most reliable arrival method, and arriving early helps you find the venue without rushing through the West Village street grid.
• Know your entrance. Cherry Lane Theatre has a single entrance on Commerce Street, so the main consideration is locating the address on the narrow lane before showtime.
• Check the bag policy in advance. Reviewing the venue's guidelines before packing prevents delays at security.
