UNDER St. Marks has been an experimental theater space since the 1970’s. Located on St. Marks Place between First Avenue and Avenue A, this basement theater is popular with a wide variety of theater and indie artists.

One side wall of the stage features a sandstone and brick wall, the opposing side is a usable stand-up bar.

There is a backstage dressing room with direct access to crossover, stage, bar, and two restrooms.

The lighting system installation includes mostly LED fixtures, with a board in the booth that allows for quick color changes, control over a couple of moving lights. the lights are controlled by an ETC ColorSource.

The space is equipped with a sound package that includes a 12 channel mixing board with multiple microphone jacks, Qlab and stereo sound.

About 10′ upstage is a retractable projection screen.  it is paired up with 3.6K Lumin, short throw projector that can stand up to some lighting. the throw distance allows for actors to be half way upstage and still not be in the projector beam.

New HVAC system pumps in a lot of temperature controlled fresh air.

The Beer Pantry will be open for most shows and we encourage your audience to drink responsibly.
