If you love theater, you'll love The Snarks!
For over a century, our talented community of
performers, directors, designers, set builders, writers, technicians, and audience members have transformed a shared dream of quality theater into a New York City tradition.
The Snarks was founded in 1909 by seven spirited women with a bold idea: to create their own private theater club and produce plays for themselves and their friends. Naming the club after Lewis Carroll's nonsense poem, The Hunting of the Snark, our members could enjoy reinventing themselves over the years.
More than a hundred years later, The Snarks are still flourishing as one of the oldest theater groups in the country. We stage our productions at the 100-seat theater of The Amateur Comedy Club, a converted carriage house in Murray Hill's historic Sniffin Court. Conveniently located near public transportation, it is easily accessible from Grand Central and Penn Station.
