you enter a sophisticated bar, tucked away in Manhattan’s Gramercy neighborhood. the atmosphere is instantly magnetic. then, without warning, the lights flicker and vanish. a spotlight catches a nearby table, and as you eavesdrop, the carefully planted characters’ worlds start to unfold around you.
a new theatrical experience unlike any other. set within the intimate confines of a real cocktail bar, audiences will find themselves drawn into the heart of several unravelling storylines as they eavesdrop on conversations happening just inches away.
Secrets takes place in the heart of New York, blurring the lines of theatre and reality. it’s as much a place as it is a performance—a unique fusion where eavesdropping is not just encouraged—it’s inevitable.
there is no curtain to hide behind and no one’s secret is safe.
Secrets will begin the moment you enter our unmarked location off of Gramercy Park; lounge amongst guests, choose from a curated list of drinks, and let the stories unfold -- perhaps you could even be a part of them.
guests will be able to access the bar 30 minutes prior to their booked reservation time, and we encourage you to arrive early to make the most of your experience.
the evening will last approximately 1 hour and 40 minutes. drinks are available for purchase, guests must be 21+ to enter.
287 Park Ave S, New York, NY 10010
whispers fill the air at a quiet cocktail bar, where Marco, the unassuming bartender, plays the role of the calm observer. but tonight, it seems there's more than just drinks on the menu—Christina and Rodolfo are here, with something life-changing they’re about to share with her parents.
Julie, the waitress, has her own secret, one that could shake things up for various patrons in the room. and so does Ben, Marco's cousin, who has more on his mind than just business.
