I am a big fan of theater and plays and would like to someday act in an amateur play. Is there someplace in NYC I can go to every once in a while to pursue this?

All you need to do is find an amateur theater company, or even a non-union professional one, and join. I would recommend trying a class before you just jump on stage though. Gives you a chance to try it out. Plenty of opportunities in New York City.

There are acting classes all over the city. As for amateur acting association, the showcases are closest to what you are describing.
Actors perform and invite NYC Talent Agents to the productions, in hopes of an actor being selected to meet. one-on-one with an Agent, for representation.
Buy a copy of the newspaper Backstage. It lists auditions for amateur productions. Or, go to Backstage.com

Go to HB Studios the classes are not that expensive and there is a lot over actors trying to hone their craft.
