DIRECTIONS & LOADING

Both the loading dock and the main entrance to the PlayStation Theater is located on 44th street between 7th and 8th Avenues

44th street is a One-Way street heading due east.

For all vehicles approaching the theater, after crossing 8th avenue The PlayStation Theater will be at the end of the block on the LEFT-HAND

side of the street.

Due to our location in the exact center of Times Square, PLEASE NOTE that NO PARKING is available on site. Bus & Trailers, Semi trucks, Van & Trailers and non-commercial vehicles will need to street load for the load in and load out.

LOADING DOCK ADDRESS: (ONE ASTOR PLAZA) 1515 BROADWAY **Don’t be misled by the address, the loading dock is ON W 44th street, not B’Way** The loading dock is a 5-Bay shared space with our neighboring 55 stories. For productions with vehicles that can load directly on the dock (straight trucks measuring 36’ or less), please be aware that only TWO (2) trucks are permitted in the bays at a time between 8:00am – 6:00pm during the week.

PLEASE ADVISE IF A FORKLIFT IS NECESSARY FOR YOUR LOAD WELL IN ADVANCE OF YOUR EVENT DATE. Securing a forklift requires permitting and the approval of several entities well in advance of the event date. Requests for a forklift to enable loading cannot be accommodated within 48hrs of load in. Costs for all necessary permitting and heavy machinery rentals are the responsibility of the client.

DIRECTIONS & LOADING

LOAD IN PROCESS: For street loading, production will need to be pushed down the sidewalk, up a ramp to dock height, and into the loading dock elevator – an estimated 175’ push. Elevators will bring production to stage level off stage right, from which point the push is up a ramp directly onto the stage – an estimated 15’-50’ push depending on the elevator position.

LOADING ELEVATORS: The PlayStation Theater has a total of three loading elevators to be used. Assignment of freights available for loading and unloading is subject to advance. For any production unable to fit within the freight elevator dimensions listed here, please see notes on Oversized Production.

Shuttle Elevator Dimensions (Independent service per advance)

Carriage Entrance Height: 96” Carriage Entrance Height: 84” Carriage Entrance Width: 46” Carriage Entrance Width: 41”

Carriage Inside Width: 78” Carriage Inside Width: 72” Carriage Inside Depth: 74” Carriage Inside Depth: 66” Carriage Inside Height: 108” Carriage Inside Height: 120”

Load Capacity: 4,000lbs Load Capacity: 4,000lbs

OVERSIZED PRODUCTION: Any item that does not fit into the freight elevators, must be hand carried down the stairs. Our front doors measure 4’2”W x 8’10”H. Our staircase is divided by a railing down the center. The distance between each railing is 4’6”W The distance between the stairs and the ceiling at its lowest point is 6’ 6”H. If the item is larger, we can carry it over the railing. The distance wall to wall is 9’10”W. The ceiling at the lowest point from the top of the railing is 3’ 6”H.

PERMITTING: Any and all production at street level will require an approved NYC permit. This applies but is not limited to activations, parking, red carpets, mobile video trucks and more. The venue cannot directly arrange for permitting, but can gladly connect clients with the appropriate permit expediting services. PLEASE NOTE: All street level production MUST be approved by the venue directly. Possession of a NYC permit DOES NOT supersede venue approval. Given our location in Times Square, this process is complex and involves several entities – for this reason we appreciate your understanding and compliance.
