The Lucille Lortel Theatre is an Off-Broadway playhouse located at 121 Christopher Street between Hudson and Bleecker Streets in the West Village neighborhood of Manhattan, New York City. It was built in 1926 as a movie theater (the New Hudson, Hudson Playhouse), and became an Off-Broadway theatre in 1953 as Theatre de Lys. In 1955, financier Louis Schweitzer acquired the building as an anniversary present for his wife, actress-producer Lucille Lortel. In 1981, the year of her 81st birthday, the theatre was renamed in her honor. After Lortel's death, the theatre was left to the Lucille Lortel Foundation.
