Theater 555

Independent productions and classic revivals find a stage at Theater 555, a midtown production house tucked into the theater district’s rhythm. The street-level address—555 W 42nd St, New York, NY 10036—places it a block south of Times Square, easy to spot on foot or by rail. A flexible venue, it adapts to plays, staged readings, and new works without fixed seating styles, letting the script dictate the space each night.

Smaller casts and bold scripts sit alongside larger-scale stagings, guaranteeing variety night to night. Whether you catch a stripped-back reading or a fully-realized production, the house keeps the focus on the text and the performers. The line moves quickly from one scene to the next, so the energy rarely lags once the lights lower.

Call ahead to confirm availability; the team handles reservations without a middleman. For step-by-step navigation, pull up directions at the theater’s map before you leave.
