Their new space in midtown is beautiful! Personally I prefer it to the Lortel. For all its history and old character, I find the Lortel in need of a renovation. And it didn't allow MCC flexibility of space and production valuethat they now have. Also, while MCC has been a major player in the NY theatre scene for a long time, IMO their new space kind of legitimizes them in a new way. It really feels like they have joined the ranks of major non-profits like The Public, Second Stage, Signature, etc. who have their own theatrical homes where they can do whatever they want.

I agree that MCC's new home is beautiful and the Lortel desperately needs a renovation! MCC now has a proscenium theater and also a black box for smaller shows. The location is way far over on the West Side but it's a booming area and worth the trek!
