Lamb's Theatre was an Off-Broadway theater located at 130 West 44th Street, Manhattan, New York City[2] inside the Manhattan Church of the Nazarene, near Times SquareinNew York City. It seated approximately 350 and specialized in musical productions.[3] The building was built in 1904–1905 and was designed by Stanford White as the headquarters of the theater club The Lambs.[1]
In the mid-1970s, the Manhattan Church of the Nazarene bought the Lamb's building for the sake of making it into a mission. The Lambs club moved to 3 West 51st Street in 1975. In 1978, Lamb's Theatre Company was created by Carolyn Rossi Copeland and it hosted the successful "Broadway for Kids" series. In 1981, the renovated 3rd floor theatre had its first show, Cotton Patch Gospel and was penned the "Gem of Times Square". With a list of over 50 productions or stages, in 1984 they opened a Lamb's Little Theatre on the first floor.[7]
