A home for contemporary performance

3AM Theatre is a venue in Queens where work is created, rehearsed, performed, and refined. We produce original productions, host residencies, present guest artists, and offer one of NYC's most flexible theatrical spaces.

Artists choose 3AM because it is a venue built by working performers who understand the challenges of developing and presenting new work. With extensive producing experience and presenting live performance, we understand what it takes to bring a project from load-in to final curtain. Our hands-on approach makes the rental and production process straightforward, flexible, and supportive, so artists can focus on the work.

Our goal is to redefine what it feels like to produce work in New York. We believe artists deserve more than a rental, they deserve collaborators. We foster a professional and welcoming environment where renters have the time, support, and technical resources to realize ambitious ideas. As artists ourselves, we understand the financial and logistical challenges of creating work and are committed to making the process more sustainable, collaborative, and ultimately more rewarding.

SUBMISSIONS

We welcome proposals from artists and companies developing work across multidisciplinary performance. We are interested in projects that benefit from an intimate, technically flexible environment and artists looking to thoughtfully integrate design into their work.

Submissions can range from early-stage development and residencies to fully realized productions seeking a New York home. We encourage you to share where your project is in its development, what kind of time and space you are looking for, and how you imagine working with 3AM.
