"One of the most incredible and versatile venues I've experienced in New York." —Emily Gurland, Free the Bill

"Don't look anywhere else." "We can't wait to work there again." —David Homan, Orchestrated Connections —Melissa Moschitto, The Anthropologists

"I recently hosted a large event with Town Stages, and they were absolutely wonderful! The Town Stages team was accessible throughout the entire planning process, helping to answer questions and field ideas. Beyond their technical assistance and impressive knowledge of the space, the team was incredibly fun to work with. Their personalities shine. Although planning events can often be overwhelming, their demeanor helped make the whole thing enjoyable. The space, itself, was fantastic – with enough flexibility to add our own flare, while still enjoying the evergreen venue setup that feels spacious, warm and modern. I received dozens of compliments about the space, and hope to work with Town again in the future! I could not recommend them highly enough."

—JORDAN STARR, QUEERTY

TOWN STAGES 7 OUR BUSINESS MODEL BUILDS EQUITY

We offer incredibly competitive pricing for our turn-key hi-tech event space.

Those events allow us to subsidize rates for artists, nonprofits, local politicians, change makers, and small businesses who are making a difference.

Our corporate clients have decentralized operations or offices too small to entertain their clients, pitch investors or train employees. Our nonprofit clients have been priced out of centrally located spaces where impact fundraising can succeed. Our artist clients have been priced out of rehearsal studios and theaters that can support an audience in .

Our hybrid hi-tech spaces are flexible and affordable for everyone's needs.
