About the West Village Rehearsal Co-Op
We partner with Rattlestick Playwrights Theater, HERE, and New Ohio Theatre to bring affordable rehearsal space to the indie theater community!
Through this partnership, IndieSpace manages access to the space and its programs for six months of the year, while our partners take care of the other six months. During our allocated time, we’re committed to making the space available to our community for no more than $10 per hour—ensuring artists have an affordable, welcoming place to create.
More Than Just a Rental – A Shared Creative Space
The West Village Rehearsal Co-Op isn’t just an affordable rehearsal space—it’s a place built with artists in mind. We want to foster a sense of shared responsibility, where everyone who uses the space helps keep it welcoming for the next artist.
By offering space at just $10 an hour, we rely on a collective effort to care for and respect the space. Simple things—like cleaning up after rehearsals and being mindful of others—help sustain an accessible and supportive environment for all.
If this approach resonates with you, we invite you to apply and be part of this growing creative community. Let’s create and care for this space together!

Important Information for Applicants
IndieSpace’s mission is to provide this space at the lowest cost possible and to the most applicants. If you are granted the space, it means that someone else was not. Cancellations immediately after being granted the space are extremely difficult for us to manage and mean that the space is not utilized to its fullest potential. Please only request the time that you are certain you need.
