Wheelchair Info
Although the building is unfortunately not ADA-compliant (it was built in the mid-1800s), the theater is on ground level and we have a secondary entrance that is wheelchair accessible (no steps). Look for the easternmost door of the building, with the small sign that says “Theater” over it. This door is usually locked, so you will need to request access from the front of house staff.

The historic Connelly Theater is a beautiful jewelbox playhouse in the heart of NYC's East Village that serves as a home for adventurous independent theater productions. Originally built in the 1860s as the choir hall for an orphanage, the Connelly Theater is like no other in New York City. The distinctive gold proscenium, raised stage and generous wing space, and intimate, flexible seating configuration have made it a coveted venue for live performance, and an iconic location for major film and television productions. Productions presented at the Connelly are curated by Director & General Manager Josh Luxenberg.
