Emerging Artists Theatre (EAT) is an award-winning home for new voices. For over 33 years, we’ve brought bold work from the page to the stage through our Spark Theatre Festival NYC and Off and Off-Off Broadway productions.
Now, we are working toward something transformational: ARTCOOP, a permanent performing arts center designed to give small theatre and dance companies an affordable, sustainable home in New York City. LEARN MORE
