BLUE COYOTE THEATER GROUP is the resident company at the Access theater.
ACCESS THEATER is a not-for-profit theater company founded in 1992 by Artistic Director Jacqueline Christy, currently under the direction of Producing Director Stephen Speights.
ACCESS THEATER is based in a converted turn-of-the-century textile warehouse, with two performance spaces – a 64 seat Black Box Theater, and a non-traditional, multi-use loft space called The Gallery.
ACCESS THEATER is committed to the production of new work, plays that are provocative and grapple with current issues. It assists new and emerging artists with workshop and production opportunities, and provides support for young theater companies and producers with subsidized, low-cost rehearsal and performance space.
ACCESS THEATER is a vital member of the Tribeca arts scene and has produced hundreds of new plays, performance pieces and exhibitions. Many have gone on to Off-Broadway productions, American regional theaters, British theater, and feature film development. Past productions include the premiere of TAPE by Stephen Belber (now a feature film starring Ethan Hawke and Uma Thurman), BRIAN DYKSTRA: CORNERED AND ALONE (produced by Access at the Triad Theater), and BUSTED JESUS COMIX by David Johnston, co-produced with Blue Coyote Theater Group in the company’s inaugural production as Resident Company at Access.
ACCESS THEATER was recently recognized by The New York Timesas “one of the theaters to pay attention to in downtown New York.”
