Skirball

The programs of the Skirball Center reflect NYU's mission to be an international center of scholarship, defined by excellence and innovation and shaped by an intellectually rich and diverse environment. At the same time, the Center provides a unique venue for enhancing a sense of community while showcasing cultural and performing arts events at NYU and in lower Manhattan.

This 860-seat theater is the setting for the only live, multi-arts professional presenting program in Manhattan which is university based.  As a result, a natural and vital aspect of the Center's mission is to build young adult audiences for the future of live performance by inspiring the NYU student population with the contemporary relevance of the performing arts.

The Center, like the city it calls home, thrives from melting-pot ideas and sensibilities. Student productions, university events, artistic premieres, re-energized classics, popular music, comedy, and riveting dialogues with the world's great thinkers make up only a sample of what one might find at NYU Skirball Center.

PROGRAMMING

Programming is represented by four categories that reflect the mission of the Center:  Project 566: What's Next is an eclectic series featuring emerging artists designed to represent the contemporary aesthetic landscape; The Big Red Chair Family Series aims to engage primarily "future NYU students" and their families; Beyond the Classroom spotlights our students and faculty at their best through performances, lectures, and symposium reflecting the rich intellectual context of the arts; and the World Stage Series celebrates diversity through music and dance performances from around the globe.
