A ground-breaking ceremony will take place on December 5th in the new location just 4 blocks from their current location in a building purchased at 20 Thomas Street with seed money from their Board of Directions and State and City funding. The new theaters will be state-of-the art where The Flea (and it’s resident company The Bats) will continue to produce daring and adventurous theatre.
Sigourney Weaver, one of the founders in 1995, is thrilled – “a dream come true.” The new theaters will contain a 99, 77, and 46 seat theaters, ticket office, lobby bar and offices.
With all the good work The Flea has brought to off-off Broadway theater, this is a boon for their efforts and will surely provide a greater presence for The Flea and other theaters in the area.
