Theater Breaking Through Barriers Corp.

The stretch of 43rd Street between Ninth and Tenth Avenues feels like a quiet backstage to Midtown’s bright marquees. Theater Breaking Through Barriers Corp. occupies a fourth-floor rehearsal studio here, offering live performances that center artists with disabilities. You’ll find the entrance at 400 W 43rd St #43R, just steps from the Port Authority’s western edge. This is a theater company that produces everything from intimate readings to full productions, all designed to challenge both performers and audiences. Tickets can be secured by calling (212) 243-4337; the same number works for questions about accessibility or upcoming shows. Because the space doubles as a rehearsal hub, performance dates rotate, so a quick phone check is the simplest way to confirm what’s on the calendar. For directions or last-minute map checks, pull up the map before heading over—Hudson Yards’ glass towers loom nearby, but the building itself keeps a low profile on the block.
