Rehearsal Space

For nearly 50 years A.R.T/New York has brought theatre-makers together. We have created a community, offered up rental space,  provided workshops, and housed audience members. We have a total of ten studio and meeting spaces available to rent by the hour for rehearsals, meetings, auditions, classes, workshops, readings, concerts, conferences, staff retreats, and small-scale theatrical performances. Read on to submit your booking requests.

NOTE - Beginning January 2022, all rehearsal bookings for A.R.T./New York member companies will be charged the discounted rate of $12 per hour via our Creative Space Program, thanks to generous funding by the Mellon Foundation. For details on this program, including restrictions, head to the Creative Space Program page, and for more information about membership head to our membership page.
