A theatre lovers MUST see. Tourists do not skip this and locals have access to so many free events hosted! Excellent selection of scripts and specialty merch. Coffee shop inside as well as little areas tucked throughout to sit and sip and read. Staff knowledge and joy for theatre is second to none.

This place is amazing. I spent 1 day working here. No sitting on the floor, so get there early to get a seat. They don’t have a microwave to warm up purchased pastries. The coffee was delicious.

The Drama Book Shop is one of my favorite places in NYC! It has such a warm, creative atmosphere, and the selection of books is incredible — plays, scripts, theatre merch, everything. The staff is very welcoming and helpful, and the whole shop feels inspiring. Definitely worth visiting whether you’re a theatre lover or just want a unique bookstore experience.

In NYC with my daughter and my granddaughter ( a drama club member in school), to see this fantastic niche bookstore. She was able to find the script of her school play where she had the main role. Also found some great artwork and fun little gift items. The service was great. The decor of the store is so fun. If you need scripts,scores, or informational books or theater gift items this is a must. Reasonably priced.
