Donate To The Gene Frankel Theatre

Our mission is to nurture living playwrights and artists audaciously expressing contemporary identity.
In this venture, we intend to revive NoHo as a cauldron of art and ideas.

Gene Frankel’s 1961 production of Jean Genet’s The Blacks, A Clown Story exemplified the vitality and influence a small theater can have. This grassroots phenomenon altered the course of Off- & Off-Off Broadway theatre and shaped their destinies, winning one of the first Obie Awards for play writing and eventually becoming the longest running Off-Broadway show in history, launching the careers of James Earl Jones, Cicely Tyson, Louis Gossett JR., and a number of other enduring influential American actors in the process.
This great American theatrical legacy was born in a small theater.
Please, support Off Off Broadway Theatre.

​This is an incredibly challenging time for all of us, including arts organizations and the artists and employees who are now impacted by this suspension.  Please consider making a donation and showing your support. 
Thank you!

​Prequel, Sequel and Two Fangs: An Exclusive Interview with Dacre Stoker
​
By Lisa Monde
"It all kind of comes together – that all this stuff was happening to this little boy and then, as Sigmund Freud would say, it all comes out later in life, when Bram hits pen to paper and starts writing Dracula."

The Theatre Times
​The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance:
​Western stage adaptation hits target.
​
By David Finkle
"Every once in a while reviewers get a great surprise. A production wanders into town, kinda like an aimless cowpoke, with no advance notice and little previous reputation, and turns into a fine contribution to the community."
​
New York Theatre Review​
Reginald L. Wilson delivers a powerhouse performance as the great American Black fighter in this accomplished solo play that’s performed in a boxing ring.
​
By  Darryl Reilly
"The combination of Reginald L. Wilson’s ferociousness, Laurence Holder’s attentive treatment and its impeccable production makes Sugar Ray a richly satisfying theatrical experience."
