About Think Tank?

Think Tank? is the current iteration of a storied downtown theatre space in the West Village, historically known as SoHo Think Tank and later as New Ohio Theatre. Now branded as 154 under ChaShaMa and Out of the Box Theatrics, the venue maintains its intimate footprint and hosts a variety of independent works. A planned move to St. Luke’s Theatre is noted for 2026, but for now audiences can secure seats at this small Off-Off-Broadway venue that remains a vibrant hub for new work and theater activities like Ice Factory and Naked Angels readings.

Location-wise, Think Tank? sits in the West Village at a central address. The intimate setup is ideal for immersive or development-focused productions. Nearby transit includes Christopher Street–Sheridan Square (subway) and West 4th Street stations. Street parking is available in the area, with nearby paid options. For visitors traveling from out of town, there are several lodging options within a short walk or ride. The Jane Hotel and The Marlton Hotel offer convenient stays close to the venue. When planning a visit, consider pairing your night with one of the area’s casual eateries or refined bistros, many of which are within easy reach of Think Tank?. We’ve got you covered with trusted local partners for hotels and dining to help you secure a smooth, no-fuss experience.
