Round the Block!

Thanks to a generous grant from the Foundation for Fairer Capitalism, Theaterlab’s ROUND THE BLOCK!™Celebrating Arts and Community in the Garment District: is back and free to attend! A promenade-style performance, ROUND THE BLOCK!™ invites you to discover the creative force of the Garment District, its fluctuating history, and the secret, unsung stories of the city blocks we call our home. The event is open to the public and brings together local businesses, community organizations, garment workers, visual artists, choreographers, and theatermakers on a guided tour of the neighborhood. ROUND THE BLOCK!™ will run on selected Fridays from September 26 to November 21, 2025. Guided by local artists, audiences depart on a 60 minute tour, starting at 520 8th Avenue and concluding at Theaterlab on W 36th St. On September 26th, October 24th and November 21, audiences are invited to stay at the theater and catch the show of the night.
