Studio Shamshiri conjures an unapologetically lavish, multifunctional Greenwich Village town house for a theatrical producer and patron of the arts

DRAMA QUEEN

If all the world's a stage, as Shakespeare wrote, then AD100 designer Pamela Shamshiri and her client Jana Bezdek have conjured the ultimate set piece, a sumptuous, seductive Greenwich Village brownstone reimagined to court the muse of theater-and of life. Brimming with dazzling decorative flourishes, the house feels like a corrective to the current vogue for hushed, monochromatic interiors that find luxury in abstention. It's a place where extraordinary furnishings, alluring colors, and rapturous artworks coalesce in a domestic temple of beauty dedicated to the goddesses of magic, mystery, and creative invention.

"I see the house as an extension of my life in the theater and my love for the performing arts," says Bezdek, a cofounder of Fourth Wall Theatrical, a boutique production company that specializes in original musical theater and female-driven stories. Part pied-à-terre-Bezdek and her family are based in Los Angeles-and part workshop, the dwelling serves multiple functions as a place for read-throughs, cast meetings, and gatherings of every sort. In fact, the house was christened with a performance and fundraiser for FourthWall's latest production, The Lonely Few, which The New York Times lauded as an “achingly romantic, softly sexy, genuinely rocking new musical."
