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]

After hosting a brief transfer of Balm in Gilead in 1984, the theatre had its inaugural production with 3 Guys Naked from the Waist Down in 1985. Notable productions since include Marvin's Room in 1992, Jeffrey in 1994, The Last Five Years in 2002, and Adding Machine in 2008.[2]

Since 2018, audiobook company Audible has used the theatre as its creative home for its full productions and staged readings.[3] Notable productions since Audible's residency include Harry Clarke and Girls & Boys in 2018, The Half-Life of Marie Curie in 2019, and the world premiere of Dead Outlaw in 2024.
