Our name "The Seeing Place" is the literal translation of the Greek word theatron . . .

". . . the place where we go to understand ourselves."

Now in its 5th Season, The Seeing Place is an actor-driven ensemble known for its intense and intimate work. We are forcefully committed to the development of the theatre artist (including actors, directors, writers, designers); honoring the craft of the actor's process (through rehearsal and into performance); bringing organic, "fully lived" storytelling to our community; and making theater accessible for all New Yorkers by keeping ticket prices low and affordable.

 

HOW DOES THE SEEING PLACE ACHIEVE THIS MISSION?

The Seeing Place is an actor-driven company: built by actors and managed by actors to be a base for actors who want to grow & hone their craft in a creative and supportive artistic home.

By placing a keen focus on behavioral storytelling, The Seeing Place has become well-known for intense and intimate, ensemble work. Productions are rehearsed in a structured, organic manner, involving heavy script analysis and improvisation. Emphasis is placed on elements of acting craft, allowing actors the freedom to discover the story with the audience on a nightly basis. There is very little action that is "blocked" or staged, and many audience members have marveled that they feel like a fly-on-the-wall observer of a real event.

Through private funding and public fundraising events / campaigns, The Seeing Place company members feverishly fundraise in advance of each production so that all ticket prices can be capped at a low $12 per ticket.
