NYC Arts: The Complete Guide to Art and Culture

The Puerto Rican Traveling Theatre (PRTT) offers performances and student workshops in both Spanish and English.

Its theater occupies a former firehouse building at 304 West 47th Street, in the heart of the Broadway district. The PRTT undertook a $2-million renovation of the distinctive red-brick structure to include a fully equipped, 194-seat theater with proscenium stage. The PRTT's mainstage, Playwrights Unit and administrative offices are housed at this location.

The PRTT's Raul Julia Training Unit runs its programs out of the Julia de Burgos Cultural Center at 1680 Lexington Avenue, between 105th and 106th Streets in East Harlem. The center is an important community hub for the Latino and African American communities.
