The New York Center for Immersive Theater (NYCIT) is a real and metaphorical space where the future of theatrical audience engagement can be envisioned, composed, pushed, tested, revised and shared with audiences.  

Within the walls of the Center we intend to herald the theatrical experimentation that will chart the landscape of this ever-expanding form of theater. We believe that immersive theater has the power to galvanize audiences, ensuring a robust future for American theatre.
