Symphony Space is a cultural anchor on the Upper West Side, offering a rich mix of theater, film, music, dance, and literary programming for New York City families. Located at the corner of Broadway and 95th Street, it features two performance spaces: the 760-seat Peter Jay Sharp Theatre and the intimate 160-seat Leonard Nimoy Thalia.
Families with school-age children will find the most to enjoy, from dedicated family event series to the beloved Thalia Kids Book Club Camp (ages 9–14) offered each summer. The Global Arts education initiative brings world cultures into K–12 classrooms, while the All Write! program connects literacy and the arts. Symphony Space also presents free annual events, including the iconic Wall to Wall marathon concerts.
Programming is event-driven and varies widely in format and pricing — some events are completely free while ticketed shows start around $28. Always check the online calendar and individual listings before visiting, as schedules and age suitability vary by event.
