La Mama officially unveils its refurbished new home today

The La MaMa Experimental Theatre Club family welcomes the return of its renovated original home on Fourth Street with a ribbon-cutting ceremony today. (We first mentioned this on Jan. 24.)

Restoration work has been ongoing the past few years at the landmarked building at 74A E. Fourth St. between Second Avenue and the Bowery. La MaMa founder Ellen Stewart bought the property as the off-off-Broadway institution's first permanent home in 1967.

Today's event begins at 11 a.m. outside No. 74A. Actor, activist, dancer and choreographer André De Shields is the special guest for the ceremonies, which will also be streamed on Instagram via @nyclgbtsites.
