CO/LAB Theater Group

What happens when a performing-arts group decides to set up shop above the neon glow of Midtown’s theater district? CO/LAB Theater Group occupies a quiet corner of the third floor at 520 8th Ave #308, New York, NY 10018, where rehearsals and workshops unfold without the usual marquee fanfare. The collective specializes in ensemble-driven plays, improv sessions, and script-development labs, often pulling from personal narratives that feel distinctly local. Audience members who prefer raw, unpolished performances over Broadway spectacle tend to find the address without much trouble.

Those who want to catch a show or join a workshop can dial (347) 989-4338 to check the schedule; the same number works for anyone curious about volunteer slots or donation drop-offs. Directions to the space are straightforward once you punch the address into the map. If you’re already in the neighborhood, it’s the kind of place you might stumble upon while ducking out of the rain.
