The Daryl Roth Theatre is an off-Broadway performance space at 101 East 15th Street, near Union Square, Manhattan, New York City. The sixty-foot, four-story building[1] was designed by Henry Bacon, built in 1905-1907,[2] and is a New York City landmark.[3] The building houses two auditoriums: the Daryl Roth Theatre, which seats up to 300 people (or can accommodate 499 standing patrons), and the DR2 Theatre, which seats 99. The building was originally built for the Union Square Savings Bank. Union Square Savings Bank acquired King's County Savings Bank in 1969 to form United Mutual Savings Bank.[4] United Mutual failed in 1982 and was acquired by American Savings Bank.[5] American Savings failed in 1992 and the Union Square branch was closed.[6][7] The building was acquired by Daryl Roth in 1996 and transformed into an off-Broadway venue.[8] The DR2 Theatre was built in 2002.
Notable productions at the theatre include Fuerza Bruta, Bunnicula, Striking 12, and That Golden Girls Show.
In 2017, Frank Oz (while making his theatrical directorial debut with In and Of Itself) changed the layout of the theatre to incorporate its visually striking facade as an entrance to the theatre. That required moving the box office around, but now the audience can enter through the front doors on Union Square East.[9]
