ABOUT THE VENUE
The Marjorie S. Dean Little Theatre is located at 10 West 64th Street. Designed by the West Side YMCA to be exactly 1/5 the size of a Broadway Playhouse, the Little Theater has played host to a variety of youth and adult drama, dance, music, and theater programs. The theater also served as a venue of a variety of outside productions. This historic space was named in 2004 for the late Marjorie S. Deane, a New York City philanthropist, theater advocate and fashion industry icon, whose study of fashion was fueled by her interest in costume design for the theater. Theater architect Mitchel Kurtz designed the renovation to include upgrades to the 79-year-old historic theater.
