The theater that has made its name in a Broad Ripple basement is about to move above ground. Storefront Theatre of Indianapolis<\/a>\u00a0will relocate to a new building near the intersection of 56th Street and Keystone Avenue.<\/p>\n

Since 2017,<\/a> the intimate theater has been producing raw, hard-hitting works by women and underrepresented playwrights, and in 2019, it opened its first permanent home<\/a> in the basement at 717 Broad Ripple Avenue. Founder Ronan Marra and his team are now revamping the new location at\u00a02416 E. 55th Place. Plans are for a\u00a0to-be-named group to perform in the space in October, and Storefront will produce its first show\u00a0there in December or January.<\/p>\n

“It was really important to keep it here, and I was lucky to find this,” Marra said.<\/p>\n

Storefront found its new spot after Marra said its current location\u00a0was sold and the new owners decided not to renew its lease. The theater’s building on 55th Place was formerly a church with several rooms that will easily transition into all of the spaces needed to run the theater. On either side of the entry hallway will be offices, a\u00a0restroom, box office and a gallery devoted to local artists. The latter will be the site of arts marketplaces, too.\u00a0<\/p>\n
