The Minetta Lane Theatre is a 391-seat off-Broadway theatre at 18 Minetta Lane in the Greenwich Village neighborhood of Lower Manhattan in New York City.[1] The theatre is owned by Liberty Theatres, a subsidiary of Reading International, which also owns the Orpheum in the East Village, Manhattan.[1]

Notable productions include Marvin's Room in 1992, Jeffrey in 1994, and The Last Five Years in 2002.[2]

In June 2018, British playwright Dennis Kelly's one-woman play Girls & Boys, directed by Lyndsey Turner and starring Carey Mulligan, had a run at the Minetta, to good reviews,[3][4][5] after premiering at the Royal Court Theatre in London in February of that year.[6][7]

Audiobook company Audible uses the theatre for staged readings.[8]
