The Claire Tow Theater opened in June 2012 as Lincoln Center Theater’s third and newest performance space. For theater lovers interested in the next generation of theater artists, the Claire Tow is the home of LCT3, a programming initiative dedicated to works by new artists, playwrights, and directors. The theater was built as a two-story addition to the roof of Lincoln Center Theater’s Vivian Beaumont Theater, with entrances from Hearst Plaza by the Reflecting Pool and on West 65th Street across from The Juilliard School. The airy lobby has a bar and great views of Lincoln Center Plaza, with doors that open onto an outdoor terrace surrounded by a new green roof. Both the bar and the terrace are open to ticket holders before and after show time.
