About New York School Of Visual Arts - Theatre 1
Welcome to the SVA Theatre, the performance home of New York School of Visual Arts. Located at 333 West 23rd Street in the heart of Manhattan, this venue comprises two intimate and artist-driven spaces: the Silas Auditorium (479 seats) and the Beatrice Auditorium (266 seats), totaling 745 seats combined. Whether you’re catching premieres, Q&As, or festival showcases, we’ve got you covered with easy ticket options, seating details, and nearby lodging and dining to complete your visit.
From red-carpet premieres to film screenings and student showcases, the SVA Theatre has hosted notable events such as Wicked For Good Q&As, the King Hamlet premiere for DOC NYC, and All Her Fault after-parties.
