The studio venue of the city's Arts Club theater empire hosts more challenging and intimate productions in a space that's cleverly and sometimes dramatically reconfigured for each show. There are often three or four productions per season as well as on-stage readings of new works in progress, which are typically free; check the Arts Club website for information on these.
