The La MaMa Experimental Theatre Club is devoted to supporting artists and every facet of the theatrical realm. Established in 1961 by Ellen Stewart, La MaMa stands as a welcoming haven for artists of diverse identities, races, ages, and cultures. Within the nurturing embrace of La MaMa, artists find not only space but also the support and creative freedom necessary to explore new forms of expression and generate innovative works.
The first venue boasts an intimate setting with brick walls, setting the stage for an immersive and cozy atmosphere. This theater space features traditional theater seating, providing audiences with a comfortable and focused perspective on the unfolding performances. The open space within, cleverly designed as a stage, allows artists to break free from conventions, encouraging innovative and boundary-pushing expressions.
The open expanse serves as both a stage and a canvas for creativity. The industrial decor adds a raw character, creating an environment where unconventional ideas can flourish.
At the core of La MaMa's philosophy is the belief that art catalyzes change. Recognizing that violence, discrimination, and systemic racism require a unified action against it. We are dedicated to establishing inclusive spaces for our local, national, and global community, ensuring that the transformative power of art is accessible to all.
