Rental Information

The Flea has three unique, intimate theaters where we help emerging artists hone their craft, allow established artists to try something new, and mid-career artists establish their identity. We encourage you and your organization to experience the special feeling that comes from producing work or an event in our space. A host of theater companies have performed on our stages, including: New Georges, TOSOS, Soho Shakespeare Company, New York Deaf Theater, EMERGE125, and New York City Children’s Theater.

Our spaces can be used for your company’s play, musical, concert, dance performance, film shoot, party, or next event – the possibilities are endless! Let us know what you want to accomplish and we’ll give you the space to make it happen.
