The Theatre Museum is holding a
lecture on the architectural history of New York theatres, including Times
Square, as part of its inaugural exhibition, 'Times Square Theatres: A New
Century/A New Style.' The lecture, 'Another Op'nin', Another Theatre -
Broadway's Evolution,' will be held from 6:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. on Wednesday,
February 21, 2007 at the Municipal Art Society, 457 Madison Avenue near 51st
Street in New York City. A reception will follow.
Exhibition curator Craig Morrison will speak about the changing 20th century
theatre audience from male, working class, to families, to those remaining
as radio and television took over popular entertainment, and beyond. The
lecture will speak to 'how the architectural form has evolved to suit these
changing audiences,' he said. Mr. Morrison is a theatre restoration
architect, historian and author of Theatres, a recent Library of Congress
book about theatres in America since the country's founding.
The exhibition, which will run through March 7, 2007, focuses on the
architectural trends in 20th Century Broadway theatres. It displays these
trends with 8-foot panels presenting photographs, architectural plans,
artifacts from some of the 13 theatres highlighted and historical data.
These panels demonstrate the transformation many of these theatres went
through during the 20th century.
Those sponsoring the exhibition include Jujamcyn Theaters, Millennium
Broadway Hotel Nederland Organization, New York Council for the Humanities,
a state affiliate of the National Endowment for the Humanities, New York
Marriott Marquis, The 42nd Street Fund, The Times Square Alliance, New
Amsterdam Theatre and The Rockefeller Group. This exhibition is supported,
in part, by public funds from the New York City Department of Cultural
Affairs. Any views, findings, conclusions or recommendations expressed in
