The complex contains the following theatres: Acorn Theatre (199 seats) Samuel Beckett Theatre (99 seats) Harold Clurman Theatre (99 seats) Rodney Kirk Theatre (99 seats) Lion Theatre (99 seats) Studio Theatre (55 seats) After this project of replacing adult entertainment venues with theatres was succesful, more Off-Broadway theatres were opened in that part of the street.
