Repertorio Español Tickets

138 East 27th St (between 3rd Avenue and Lexington )
Kips Bay, Manhattan

Lexington between 27th and 29th St is “Curry Hill,” one of New York City’s “Little Indias.” Kalustyan’s spice shop at 123 Lexington (between 28th & 29th) is a feast for the senses.

Curry is traditional in parts of the Caribbean too. When we’re in the neighborhood, we always stop and have a good curry like grandma used to make.

The people sitting next to you in the theater may not appreciate it, but you can open your senses with Indian spices in the neighborhood and then open your senses in another way at Repertorio Español.

Hispanic Theatre Traditions

Repertorio Español was founded by Cubans. The company combines respect for Hispanic traditions (Cuba was Spain after all) with a Caribbean sensitivity that is very New York City.

Productions range from Spanish Golden Age classics, to newly commissioned adaptations of contemporary Latin literature. There is something for the entire family from young people to abuelitos.

The Gramercy Arts Theater (not the Gramercy Theater) is a small black-box theater of the kind that used to be all over New York City, especially in Downtown, Manhattan. They are disappearing now, so Repertorio Español is a living connection to the past.

Productions are sparsely staged. They rely on script and acting. This is really a playwright’s and actor’s theatre. Some famous writers and actors come through.

Shows are in Spanish, but English supertitles are available for some performances.

In the best tradition of theatre, Repertorio Español productions make you think. Some also tour our city and country. We are fortunate to have this company in New York City.

Repertorio Español is a New York Latin Culture Magazine sponsor.

PS: This is a learning project. Not everything we have written is correct, but with your help, we get better every year. Also we use the pronoun "we" no matter who we are writing about. Creating a "them" is the first step in dehumanization leading to theft, rape and murder. In our world, there is no "them," there is only "us." Thank you for joining us.
