Housing & Logistics

 

The Institute takes place at Theatre for a New Audience’s Polonsky Shakespeare Center in the heart of the Downtown Brooklyn Cultural District, home to some of the most impressive arts and cultural institutions in New York City.

HOUSING

In 2024, our Summer Scholars will have the option to stay at the St. George Residence, a student dormitory located in Brooklyn Heights, which is one of the most sought-after neighborhoods in all of New York City, full of great coffee shops, restaurants, and markets. Located steps away from the 2/3 subway stop at Clark St, the Residence provides easy access to the Polonsky Shakespeare Center and to Manhattan, which can both be reached in 15 minutes or less by subway.

We hold a block of rooms for our Summer Scholars to book, to ensure you have a convenient and affordable local option available to you, but you are of course welcome to make your own housing arrangements.
