Off-Broadway mainstay Cherry Lane Theatre is back on the market after an initial $11 million sale with the Lucille Lortel Theatre Foundation fell through. Bloomberg reports the complex is currently listed at $12.95 million.
The deal was initially announced in July, with George Forbes set to succeed Angelina Fiordellisi as executive director. No reason was given for why the sale was halted.
Cherry Lane reopened this summer with a return engagement of Jacqueline Novak’s Get On Your Knees. Currently playing at the downtown venue is Neal Brennan’s Unacceptable, with performances scheduled through November 21. Up next is Alex Edelman’s Just For Us, running December 1-19.

Consisting of four distinct programs dedicated to supporting early career playwrights, the festival has formalized Second Stage Theater’s artistic pipeline.
The program awards three early-career playwrights with professional mentorship, a $7,500 stipend, a public reading, and additional networking opportunities.
The works—by artists like Ty Defoe, Jeanette Harrison, Angélica Negrón, Javaad Alipoor, and more—are the first in a planned multi-year series of multi-disciplinary works about our government.
