We're so passionate about creating a conversation in our community - thank you for leaving your thoughts!

Our Mission

Now in its 12th year, The Seeing Place is an actor-driven social justice company dedicated to exploring the intersection between the actor's voice and the playwright's words, by reinterpreting masterful works live and in the moment to make them relevant, visceral, truthful, and accessible to a modern audience.

We live up to our name by engaging our community in a vivid conversation about what makes us human. Connection. Learning. Humanity. That's what theater is all about.

How do we do achieve this mission?

The Seeing Place - a 501c3 charitable organization - is built by actors and managed by actors to be a base for actors who want to grow & hone their craft in a creative and supportive artistic home. We are forcefully committed to five key elements of theatre-making:

• Mentoring and developing the next generation of independent, socially-conscious theater-makers;

• Honoring the acting craft as central to the theater-making process, using the rehearsal practices of the Group Theatre to bring vivid, raw, "fully lived" storytelling to our community;

• Creating edgy and compelling reinterpretations of works by master playwrights that reflect the struggles and triumphs of our current society;

• Making theater accessible for low-income New Yorkers by subsidizing 50% of our tickets; and

• Inspiring our audience to "social justice action" by using the themes of our plays to educate and incite change.
