OLDE THEATRES OF THE BOUWERIE
New York City

Event date: Sunday, December 10, 2006
Hours: 11:00 am-1:00 pm

The Bowery was once a center for all forms of working class entertainment: minstrel shows, dime museums, vaudeville, burlesque, legit theatres, and early film shows. At the end of the 19th century, the street boasted 99 such places-14 classified as respectable- plus six barrooms to a block.

However by 1927, barely a dozen theaters remained.

Join us for a stroll along "the street that died young"; beginning at McGurk's Suicide Hall" - "the roughest joint in town" - and ending in Chatham Square at the site of the legendary Bowery/Thalia Theatre.

Meet on NE corner of Bowery and Houston Street.
Take the F/V train to Second Avenue station.
