The Cell Theatre

Constructed in 1901 as a tenement house, the building at 338 W 23rd St was converted into art and performance venue in 2006 by Founding Artistic Director Nancy Manocherian. Today, it serves as the home of The Cell Theatre Company Ltd. and provides space and resources through various artist residencies.^[6]

The theatre, intended as a "21st-century salon",^[7] serves central Chelsea, offering a developmental space for artists of all disciplines.^[7]

Productions developed in the theatre have been staged on Broadway, and at Art Basel Miami, Berkeley Repertory Theatre, Carnegie Museum of Art, Cherry Lane Theatre, Edinburgh Fringe Festival, Irish Repertory Theatre, MCC Theater, New World Stages, Portland Stage Company, Rattlestick Playwrights Theater, and Southwark Playhouse.^[8]
