Pied-à-Terre

A Sunday-evening off-Broadway comedy at the Theater Center — 'Pied-à-Terre' turns Manhattan apartment envy into farce in an intimate Times Square house.

Off-Broadway

The Theater Center's small stages are where scrappy off-Broadway comedies get their shot, and a 5pm Sunday curtain is one of the most underrated slots in New York theatergoing — you're out by 7 with the whole evening ahead. Pied-à-Terre mines the city's most relatable obsession (real estate) for laughs at close range, in a house where the back row is still practically onstage. An easy, low-cost add-on for a Times Square Sunday.

What to expect

An intimate off-Broadway comedy in a small house within the Theater Center complex — casual crowd, quick runtime, and same-day tickets typically available. Expect proximity: these stages seat a fraction of a Broadway house.
