The Theater Center, Anne L. Bernstein TheaterFollow

The Theater Center is a 20,000-square-foot Off-Broadway multi-venue entertainment complex located on the corner of 50th Street and Broadway (1627 Broadway / 210 W 50th Street) in Times Square, New York City. It houses two 199-seat theaters — the Anne L. Bernstein Theater (proscenium) and the Jerry Orbach Theater (3/4 thrust black box) — along with two rehearsal studios, bars, and event spaces. Originally opened as the Snapple Theater Center on May 22, 2006, and built by actress-producer Catherine Russell, it was Off-Broadway's first corporate-sponsored venue; it was renamed The Theater Center in May 2016. The complex is best known as the long-running home of Perfect Crime (New York's longest-running non-musical play), and claims several distinctions including being the first theater to offer Live AI Translation in over 50 languages and the first Off-Broadway house to resume performances after the COVID-19 shutdown.
