Tucked inside Midtown Manhattan at 17 W 45th Street #301, the Chain Theatre is an intimate black box where New York’s independent theater scene takes center stage. The third-floor setting creates a focused, up-close environment that puts audiences only a few steps from the action, perfect for plays, readings, and small-scale productions that reward close attention.
Programming spans bold new works, sharp revivals, the Chain NYC Film Festival, and comedy showcases that highlight stand-up, sketch, and improv from rising New York talent. Flexible staging, thoughtful lighting, and crisp sound keep sightlines clean and performances immersive. With a rotating calendar of limited runs, festival blocks, and special events, the Chain Theatre offers something fresh nearly every week.
Set between Times Square and Bryant Park, the venue is easy to reach via the B, D, F, M at 42 St–Bryant Park, the 7 at Fifth Avenue, or Grand Central’s 4, 5, 6 and Metro-North. Arrive a little early to settle in and make the most of the neighborhood before curtain.
