Players Theatre

This 248-seat theater on MacDougal Street is one of the few spaces remaining in the West Village proper. Built in 1907, it has been home to some camp classics (like An Evening with Quentin Crisp), but now it has become one of the less comfortable rental spaces, despite its pedigree and long tenure in the neighborhood. It also includes a microscopic space (the Players Loft) and Cafe Wha?, a fixture since the ’60s.
