About this space

The main performance space inside 53Two is an industrial-style theatre with a capacity of up to 180 guests. We can accommodate contemporary theatre, experimental performances, and small-scale touring productions, as well as live music, casting & auditions, screenings, filming, photoshoots and more.

The theatre itself is a flexible black-box space designed to adapt to a variety of performances. Seating is typically arranged in a raked configuration to ensure clear sightlines, while the stage layout can be reconfigured depending on the production.
