TONYC’s suite is a private creative space located just four blocks from the 42 Street-Port Authority Subway Station and a nine minute walk from the Times Square Subway Station. It offers exceptional privacy, plentiful amenities, and a low rental price to help your work soar. 

The Community Room can accommodate up to 12 and the Mincey Room up to 15 people. Both spaces include Wi-Fi, a projector and in-room monitor, Meeting Owl, writing utensils, chairs and foldable table (customizable to your needs), storage cubbies, a coat rack, hand sanitizer and face masks, cleaning supplies, modern HEPA air filtration, a self-care station with fidget toys and craft supplies, and more. It also includes complimentary access to a shared pantry, which features a sink, fridge, microwave, and trash and recycling receptacles, and one gender-neutral bathroom that renters share with TONYC.

About TONYC: We partner with community members at local organizations to form theatre troupes. These troupes devise and perform plays based on their challenges confronting economic inequality, racism, and other social, health and human rights injustices. If your work involves community-engagement or social justice too, you'll feel right at home!
