Immersive

Super-close to all the action, but not in the show.

There is nowhere to hide at 34 West. The furthest seat from the stage is just 12 feet! With that sort of proximity to the actors, you can’t help but feel like you’re transported to the world of the story.

Our stories are epic in nature — transporting you from a radio theater to the city streets to the country, as in HITCHCOCK (above), OR from a jailhouse to the bayou to a beauty pageant, as in MOONSHINE (below).

If a cabaret and a black box theater had a fling with a wine bar, you’d wake up with 34 West.

And we post a “no sing-a-long” notice at our entrance when we produce musicals, mostly because you’re so close to all the action, if feels like you’re in your living room — it’s that intimate.

There aren’t too many places in the world where you can be that close to the actors who are performing the play they wrote themselves!

That's Entertainment!

More live shows. More streaming. More entertainment!

First up, we’re planning 4 live productions that will bring you to your feet and give you all the feels in 2023.

With 1 repeat hit from 2019 and 3 never-before-seen comedies, we’re certain you have all you need to plan your next several date nights :) We can’t reveal the titles just yet but we promise you’ll burst with excitement when you find out what they are.

Filming is underway for our second short film, ARDEN HIGH. Inspired by our sellout 80’s series Addicted to Love, the short follows our high school secretary as she navigates prom and single-motherhood. We’ll be submitting to film festivals around the globe in early January. And then… we’ll be pitching this story and others to our peeps in Hollywood.

Our NTLive series featuring screenings of the latest National Theatre of London productions will occur monthly and are absolutely inspired. If you’ve never attended one of these Sunday night events, think of it like “movie night” except it feels like sitting in the front row of a world-class production.

There’s a lot planned for 2023 but it’s all just the icing on an already delicious cake made especially for you to enjoy.

Because our hope is that you’ll leave happier than when you arrived. That your mouth will hurt from smiling so much. That you’ll experience something incredibly innovative and breathtaking — basically, that you’ll feel all the feels.

After all, that’s entertainment!

Show Business

Writing every show, acting in every performance, serving drinks, seating patrons,… it’s a lot.

But then add all the other day-to-day tasks and we wonder how our team doesn’t go insane! More importantly, how do Jeff and Steve keep the stories flowing and the quality at a high level?

The secret may make you gag a little, but it’s true.

It’s “love.”

Love for each other, for those we work alongside, for the audience and for the content we’re creating. The world needs hopeful, optimistic, hilarious stories. Stories that inspire. Stories that make you root for the underdog. Stories that allow you to escape for a few hours and remind you there’s still a lot of good in the world.

This is what “show business” means to us: working hard to provide hope and laughter through original stories.

Come downtown some night and experience why our version of showbiz makes the world a better place :)

Tiffany & Roxanne

Sometimes dipping into insanity for a hot second is exactly what the story needs. There’s a moment in every performance when all decorum is thrown out the window.

We’ll break the “fourth wall”. We’ll parody a parody. Or we’ll introduce a one-off character that holds a mirror up to our hero, revealing some sort of truth.

Enter Tiffany and Roxanne.

Two elderly women trying their best to be young and relevant and always failing miserably. They’re often poignant, always hysterical and have now shown up in four separate productions.

Portrayed by owners-actors-writers Jeff Querin and Stephen Wayne, these two always arrive when our hero needs them the most.

We first met Tiffany and Roxanne in a night club in UPTOWN GIRL (above). They encouraged Jersey to seek true love no matter what. Or at a coffee shop in SOMETHING TO TALK ABOUT when they helped a divorced couple rekindle their romance.

In our current show, SHE DRIVES ME CRAZY, they help our lonely hero break out of her shell.

The benefit of writing every play is that we can reintroduce favorite characters into new stories.

Like a reoccurring role on a sitcom.

These are stock characters which help serve the story and our hero. Upstairs Joan, Largo Cutting, Marty Funkyballoo, Herbie Nine Lives,… all have stolen the show in multiple productions. And all have provided meaningful insight into our hero’s journey.

It may look like unorganized chaos. It may feel ridiculous. But watch out, these outlandish moments may just give you insight into the human experience.

Sorry, I Have Tickets to 34 West

The ultimate get out of jail free card.

For 7 years, we’ve sold out every holiday show before it began.

Its clinically proven you’ll live longer if you buy your 34 West tickets months ahead of time. Why? Because you’ll stop stress eating. Chain smoking. Purchasing tickets months in advance will improve your sex life.

Because you won’t be worried about those pesky holiday plans. You can sail into September and walk briskly through October knowing you already have plans.

“Hey son-in-law, want to come to my Sexy Secret Santa Party?”

Sorry, I have tickets to 34 West.

“Hey co-worker, we’re decorating cookies at Buffalo Wild Wings tonight.”

Sorry, I have tickets to 34 West.

This year’s production MOONSHINE promises laughs, hijinks, and most of all that warm feeling that comes only from being with the ones you love while everyone else is left out in the cold.

“Do you want to just hang out and do nothing this Christmas?”

Sorry, I have tickets to 34 West.
