The @Abrons Series Program is a subsidized theater rental program that provides access to our spaces as well as production services at subsidized rates. While @Abrons is not curated, priority is given to shows and events that align with our mission and that are commitment to anti-oppression. For shows, events or artistic projects working to build community projects that are socially or civically inclusive – yet have very small budgets – there is an application for an extra–subsidized rate available below.
Please look at the rental rate sheet to see if you have the budget for a rental, the technical packets for information about which space you would be interested in renting, and if you would like more detail about terms, a sample Letter Of Agreement (LOA) is also below:

Abrons is a home to many different kinds of often non-traditional performances. To make our spaces more accessible from a technical and financial perspective, we have developed rep lighting plots for each theater.  These will be in place and focused when you arrive.  Any additions, subtractions, or other changes to this plot must be approved by the Production Manager in advance, and must be restored and re-focused by the end of your production period. For more specifics, please send an email to Jon Harper (email address below).

Once you have read through these things, please get in touch with Jon Harper, our Director of Operations, at jharper@henrystreet.org to discuss rental possibilities. Thank you!
