NYC Arts: The Complete Guide to Art and Culture

Part of the arts complex at St. Mark's Church-in-the-Bowery in the East Village, the Ontological Theater presents all manner of irreverent and cutting-edge performances. In addition to serving as the home for Richard Foreman's Ontological-Hysterical Theater, the space also hosts the Seven Minute Series, a three-week series of shorts, and the Blueprint Series, a three-week series for new directors. In the summer it hosts the Downtown Series, a three-week series of late-night performances.
