Lucille Lortel Theatre

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Lucille Lortel Theatre is an off-Broadway playhouse located at 121 Christopher Street in New York City's Greenwich Village.

The venue was built in 1953 as Theater de Lys and housed a revival of the Threepenny Opera, which opened on March 10, 1954. In 1955, financier Louis Schweitzer acquired the building as an anniversary present for his wife, actress-producer Lucille Lortel. In 1981, it was renamed the Lucille Lortel Theatre in her honor.
