Plan your visit
Do not assume the old Horse Trade link or historical Kraine schedule is current. Verify any advertised performance directly with its presenter and confirm that 85 East 4th Street is the actual venue. The building’s historic theater entrance used a flight of exterior stone stairs and had no elevator.
Accessibility
Historic access information describes the theater as not wheelchair accessible: one flight of stairs entered the building, second-floor restrooms required another flight, and no elevator or assistive-listening system was provided. Confirm any renovations or current accommodations with the event organizer.
About Kraine Theater
The Kraine Theater was a roughly 99-seat East Village independent theater at 85 East 4th Street and the longtime flagship of Horse Trade Theater Group, later FRIGID New York. FRIGID officially left the venue at the end of 2023. The historic building remains active with the revived Kraine Gallery, but a current regular theater operator was not verified.
