Shubin Theatre

Pocket-sized theater just off South Street

Description

The Experience

Tucked into a renovated storefront off South Street, the “hippest street in town,” the pocket-sized Shubin Theater (43-seats) presents some of the hippest theater in town. There’s no “season” – the owner stages productions as inspiration hits and she leans towards the original, eclectic and sometimes offbeat.

Recent shows include The Other Side of Gone Wit’ de Wind monologues, Last Dance about Nazi sympathizer/filmmaker Leni Reifenstahl and The Adventures of Luna Moon: Tales of Passion, Erotic Fantasies and Sexual Obsession. And size isn’t everything. The theater is small but professional. It’s also a popular venue among new playwrights showcasing their productions.

History

Denise Shubin wanted to produce what she wanted, when she wanted. With little interest in the business end of show biz, the actress/dancer/opera singer and her artist husband turned an abandoned shell of a house into a low-overhead venue. In 1987, they launched the Shubin Theater, now a staple among Philadelphia’s small theaters.

Other Information

The Shubin Theater is small — 43 seats.
