THEATERLAB PRESENTS
GALA20:
Theaterlab’s 20th Anniversary Gala
FRIDAY, OCTOBER 16, 2026
Twenty years ago, Theaterlab began with a simple, stubborn idea: to build a home for what’s new.
And now it’s time celebrate this monumental milestone: two decades creating beautiful art together and serving the ever-changing landscape of NYC makers and doers exploring what’s next in live performance.
Join us as we celebrate together.
We can’t wait to open our tiny paper house built with love, tape, strings and such big imagination and passion, to offer you a unique experience surrounded by beauty: being it, seeing it, wanting it, ingesting it.
We’ll honor the journey so far, the people who joined along the way, and dream together about what’s to come. Performances, food, installations: Theaterlab’s style will be full on – and if you love us, you’ll be there piercing into the future with us.
Get ready to dress for a magic night.
