Intimate, comfortable, friendly theater: almost a little pub-like. Great productions. The seats are a bit narrow, as are the stairs: something to be aware of if you are someone who needs more room. Theater is up a set of brownstone stairs, and bathroom is on the second floor. No ramps, no elevators.
I saw Too Much Light Makes the Baby Go Blind and I was glad I did. It certainly evoked a few emotions. It was nice that I can have wine and that there was a student discount. The theater was not too large but had some authentic coolness to it. I liked the stained glass and intimateness. The little bar was cute too. The stage was fitting. The performance itself was so unique and clever at times. I am glad I had the chance to experience it.
My buddy had her one woman show here it was a dope spot. They had a bathroom upstairs and a secondary room that was cool as hell
A great independent theater with excellent actors. My husband was so happy about finding it. I loved the topics they emphasize on since they are todays social issues. I am hoping to go again soon.
We saw Infinite Wrench and it was so worth it. All the laughter interspersed with bits of truly touching moments. And every show is different. I will continue going back whenever I have friends in town, not only to show them a good time but to see the new martial as well. A+!
I love coming here for the reoccurring Neofuturists show The infinite wrench. The KGB bar is right upstairs from the theater and its a very aesthetic place to grab a drink before or after a show. The whole building has a great downtown/indie theater/art scene vibe to it.
Old SKOOL NYC theater - a black box sort of stage with a small audience seating area. The thing is - there is such an eclectic and varied and interesting selection of performances. Both Frigid and Fringe host shows here, too. Go and see what is up -real grassroots theatre.
Much-loved and essential downtown performance venue. Could use a bit of TLC, but some people feel thats part of its charm. Downstairs from the KGB Bar, which is a great place to go at intermission or after the show.
I came out to support my friends for the Amios event. Good times, laughter and networking.
Super cool theater in the Lower East Side, been to a bunch of shows and its different every night. Plus they have a bar inside with an actual selection. Always an awesome time
Nice theater space but there are chairs that need to be replaced. Too old and narrow.
Fun space, loved the Frigid Fringe Fest. Go Artisanal Intelligence! What a great show by Spec Theatre out of Vancouver BC.
The theatre is older but the space worked out. We went to see Show up, Kids! And it was one of the best shows Ive ever been to.
Definitely an older theater, but hosts very interesting performances, often Burlesque. Has a small bar with a reasonable beer selection.
If I were a real estate agent, Id call the Kraine Theater intimate and bohemian. But this place is so cramped and the mens room so gross, it would quickly cost my job.
Great local theater. It needs better air conditioning. The sound of the air conditioner makes it hard to hear the performers. Sit down front.
A great plan for the children. Definitely we will schedule at least, once a month.
Went to Kraine theater for a hip hop show with my artist kbyunghustle, he didnt win but he got the opportunity to open for Jhonni Blaze of Love and Hip hop, Sept 7th
Cabaret show was awful. People who were performing where all from the crowd. Not all of them had voices. That thing should have been free. Waist of money.
Ive performed here, and Ive seen more shows than I cant count here. The Kraine is one of my favorite theaters in nyc.
Small intimate theatre seating. There is a small bar inside the theatre seating space, convenient!
The show was great but the theatre is small and needs some work. Is an old building
Love the kraine I totally enjoyed myself. There is a variety of shows something for everyone. Plus they are open year round.
Its a pretty good theater for Off-Off-Broadway. Could use some retouches here and there, but it serves its purpose.
Only been here once but loved the venue, staff, bartender and musical I saw! Let there be stuff, so funny!
Fascinating small theater dedicated to supporting artists and premiering new works. Several annual festivals.
Highly recommend!! I frequent this place because of the cool atmosphere, the great performances, and the great people.
Improvised Buffy is delightful!
Really tight seating. Thought provoking pieces. Loved the show.
Cosy venue, great staff and performances!
Typical East Village theater. Creative performances. I go for the Odd Salon
Nice place for a show. No bad seats. Could use a sprucing up
Great little space. Perfect for cabarets, plays or simple musicals.
Great people for adult entertainment. Would recommend for a girls night out.
It was very exceptional I was interviewed by Riley who runs the Next 2 Rise platform.
Show was great. Seats are a little rough. Very intimate
Went to see Morrie for the third time. Nice theater and pleasant staff.
Love this place. You have to go and see the infinite wrench on a Friday or Saturday night.
Its like experimental theater space. Theres more upstairs, but not handicap accessible
Really cool space. Great place for theater.
Small,Rickety theatre long flight up. Good stuff presented.
Love the shows performed here! Always experimental, envelope pushing, and new.
Interesting venue. Very intimate. And theres a speakeasy upstairs..
All the guidelines from distancing to masks are being followed to the letter.
Nostalgic. The KGB Bar on the second level is nice & quaint!
Saw an awesome show The Infinite Wrench would go back anytime.
Saw PRINZE the one-man show here. This is what NYC theater is all about.
Nice little indie theatre venue 😊😊
Great event at a cute black box theater
Improv Buffy is very fun!!
Ripped up seat but good place!
No spoilers! Come see the infinite wrench before its too late.
Great little theater with a cool vibe.
Its so dirty and some chairs are not functional
Nice little theater to catch improv.
A great intimate little theatre.
Broken seats but amazing shows.
I only go there to stalk friends, no opinion otherwise.
Not easily visible from street. Look for the KGB sign. Old school spot.
If I get this role Ill have a lot more to say
Amazing place for theatre-hungry people
Tiny, intimate! home to an awesome show!
Fun nyc off off bway experience with great talent
Nice theater with cheap drinks

Intimate atmosphere and adorable humans. I had a great time with the little troop of Improvised Buffy. Funny, offbeat, you can feel the love of the series rendered in a swarm of winks.Intimate atmosphere and lovely people. Ive had a wonderful time at Improvised Buffy. Funny and quirky, you can feel the love for the series, rendered with cheeky winks at the Buffy universe.
Fantastic place

2022-03-27We were at the Kraine for Infinite Wrench and thought it was fantastic. 30 plays in 60 minutes, some were funny and some were poignant. A few were profane. There were mistakes. Its a very friendly crowd and a fun place to hang out late on a Saturday night. The show changes every week and I definitely would like to go back the next time Im in the city. Take your teenagers, they can explain the jokes.

2022-05-14This place is discriminating against people who aren’t boosted in may of 2022, while the comedy club right down below has a packed show with no masks, no mandates, and probably not as funny (our friends who didn’t get turned away left midway through), there’s plenty of other great ny comedy clubs to go to, so skip this one. The girl at the front was rude and said “you know the booster is still free right?” So why don’t you get your 7th…

2019-03-17I really enjoyed the Infinite Wrench. The venue is so much fun too! Its located inside the KGB bar on the first floor. I would definitely come back here to enjoy another show. Very intimate. The seat was a little bit uncomfortable but I could deal with it.

2018-02-13This was a cool little space. Very, very tiny, but it gets the job done and I actually have a fondness for places that are carved out of a place that was never intended to be used for performance. The sound and lighting was good. The lobby was nothing more than a miniscule space left over after the creation of a molecular box office.Theres nowhere to wait inside until just before the show, but theres a stoop to sit on and the neighbourhood has lots of options. There is a tiny little pizza place with a storefront that opens right into the sidewalk two blocks away that has outrageous thin-crust pizza thats so good its worth a trip all on its own merit. Plus the guy behind the counter there is a sweetheart.The folks who worked in the theater itself were a little too caught up in their own importance but pleasant enough.Up a long, steep flight of stairs from the theater was a charming, small bar and a friendly bartender. The bathrooms were decent. Lobby, theater, bar, and bathrooms were very clean and well kept. The building itself is very old and Im glad to see it being put to such good use as a tiny, indy theater.Ill be happy to go back if and when theres other performances there I want to see.
