The Daryl Roth Theatre, formerly the Union Square Savings Bank, is located at 20 Union Square East at the corner of East 15th Street. Built in the 1840’s, this Landmark building was revived as a theatre by producer Daryl Roth in 1996, and served as home to the international Off-Broadway hit DE LA GUARDA for seven years.

The DR2 Theatre, built in 2002, is the newest addition to the Off-Broadway scene in Union Square.
