This theatre seats one person and fits one performer. Let the [awkwardness](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/uncomfortable-table) begin. Theatre for One is set to begin performances in Times Square this month. The theatre will run 300 [one-on-one shows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/endurance-tap-dance) during that time period.
