Open Jar Studios, which is located at 1601 Broadway in Manhattan, opened June 17. Encompassing two floors, the studio’s 51,346 square feet of space includes two 4,000 square-foot, column-free studios with 22-foot-high ceilings, along with smaller dance and music rehearsal rooms, production offices, and costume fitting studios.
“When I created the studio, I wanted it to be a place where there were no limits,” says founder and owner Jeff Whiting, explaining the origin of the name Open Jar.
