BUILDING THE THEATRE
OF THE FUTURE

OUR PROJECT

NBT is embarking on a historic major capital redevelopment project that will transform the current property into a 21st-century destination for Black culture through theatre. This redevelopment project will anchor and recapitalize the institution for an even brighter future with a 250-seat flexible temple space and a 99-seat studio theater.

Our new multi-disciplinary cultural arts facility at 2031 National Black Theatre Way will sit in a recently-rezoned Special Arts District in East Harlem, New York. NBT will occupy 25,000 square feet of space across the ground floor, basement, 3rd, 4th and 5th floors of a 21-story residential, commercial, and cultural mixed-use development.

The high-caliber facilities will be easily accessible for all New Yorkers and visitors, boasting multiple nearby subway transit options, including the A, B, C, D, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 trains, several bus lines, as well as Metro-North commuter rail.

Help sustain NBT’s capital development project.
