The Theatre, also known as the SVA Theatre, is at 333 West 23rd Street, between Eighth Avenue and Ninth Avenue, in Chelsea.

The site was formerly called the 23rd Street Theatre, and served as the home of the [[Roundabout Theatre Company]], from 1972 until 1984; when their lease expired, the venue was converted into a movie theatre, the Clearview Chelsea West Cinema.<ref>{{IOBDB venue|85|23rd Street Theater}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |title=Gene Feist, Founder of Roundabout Theatre Company, Dies at 91 |first=Robert |last=Simonson |date=2014-03-19 |magazine=[[Playbill]] |url=https://www.playbill.com/article/gene-feist-founder-of-roundabout-theatre-company-dies-at-91-com-216180 |access-date=2022-03-31}}</ref>

It was purchased in 2008, renovated, and reopened in January 2009. [[Milton Glaser]] designed the theatre's renovated interior and exterior, including the sculpture situated atop its marquee.
