"La MaMa Experimental Theatre Club (ETC), the Off Off-Broadway theatre that was the recipient of the 2018 Regional Theatre Tony Award, celebrated the official groundbreaking of its upcoming renovation September 25.
The groundbreaking launches the season with the company’s first-ever capital campaign project: the renovation of their first home, a landmarked building at 74A East 4th Street.
This will mark the first restoration since the building was constructed in 1873. The space is being re-imagined by Beyer, Blinder & Belle which is working with theatre consultants Jean-Guy Lecat and Charcoalblue."
Thank you to everyone who attended the Ground Breaking Ceremony on September 25th:

After more than 50 years of intensive use as theatrical space, by more than 100,000 artists and audiences of all nations, cultures, races, and identities, our building must undergo urgently needed renovations and be made ADA accessible if it is to remain a viable resource for the next generations of artists and audiences.
You, our artists, audience members, and supporters, are at the heart of La MaMa. We hope you will help us to restore and remake this building as a creative home for new artists, new work, and new ideas for decades to come.
