A storied past

St. Clement’s is a historic Episcopal church with a rich tradition of blending faith, theater, and community. Located in the heart of Hell’s Kitchen, we’ve been home to groundbreaking Off-Broadway productions since 1962, hosting world premieres by renowned playwrights like David Mamet, Sam Shepard, and Terrence McNally. Our unique space serves both as a place of worship and as a renowned theater venue, where stories of all kinds come to life. Whether it’s spiritual, artistic, or communal, St. Clement’s continues to make its mark as a place where creativity and tradition meet.
