Cherry Lane Theatre - oldest off‑Broadway theater

The Cherry Lane Theatre, founded in 1924 at 38 Commerce Street in Greenwich Village, is documented as New York City's longest continuously running off‑Broadway theatre. The venue has hosted premieres and early productions by playwrights and performers who later became prominent, forming part of the Village's theatrical and bohemian lore. The theatre's history is well recorded in accounts of New York's 20th‑century theater scene.
