History of Greenwich House Theater
Greenwich House Theater began as a children’s theater in 1917, directed by Helen Murphy, offering classes and productions for the local community. Kirk Douglas expanded the program in the 1940s to include teens and young adults before he began his career as an actor.

The Sanctuary Theater moved into the space after Helen Murphy passed away in the 1970s. The group included Rip Torn and Geraldine Page. The theater was briefly the host to Soho Rep, and then The Drama Dept. moved in during the 1990s, where they produced many of Douglas Carte Beane’s first plays.

Barrow St Theater began in 2003, producing such notable and award-winning plays as Nina Raine’s Tribes (directed by David Cromer), the revival of Our Town directed by David Cromer, No Child… by Nilaja Sun, and Bug by Tracy Letts (starring Michael Shannon).
