Off-off-Broadway

The Tank, an off-off-Broadway theater in Midtown Manhattan

Off-off-Broadway theaters are smaller New York City theaters than Broadway and off-Broadway theaters, and usually have fewer than 100 seats. The off-off-Broadway movement began in 1958 as part of a response to perceived commercialism of the professional theatre scene and as an experimental or avant-garde movement of drama and theatre.[1] Over time, some off-off-Broadway productions have moved away from the movement's early experimental spirit.[2]
