Shakespeare Forum The History of the Globe Theater History of Elizabethan London Theaters - including the Globe Theatre The first proper theater as we know it was called the Theatre, built at Shoreditch, London in 1576 and the owner was James Burbage. James Burbage had obtained a 21 year lease with permission to build the first playhouse, aptly named ' The Theatre '. Before this time plays were performed in the courtyard of inns or inn-yards, or sometimes, in the houses of noblemen or in extreme circumstances on open ground. After the Theatre, further open air playhouses ( theaters ) opened in the London area, including the Rose Theatre (1587), and the Hope Theatre (1613). The most famous Elizabethan playhouse ( theater ) was the Globe Theatre (1599) built by the company in which Shakespeare had a stake - now often referred to as the Shakespearean Globe. The full history of the Elizabethan Theater with all its theaters, playhouses and inn-yards is available by clicking the Elizabethan Theatre link which provides comprehensive information about Elizabethan Inn-Yards, Theaters and Playhouses.

Page Back The Old Globe Theater History and Timeline This section documents important dates and events in the history of the original Globe Theatre by means of a timeline. The timeline compliments the detailed specific history and information provided in the main Globe Theatre section. The Theater Timeline takes into account the history of Elizabethan theatre and how this affected the life of William Shakespeare. How it all started - the old Globe Theater History The history of the old Globe Theatre is a short and turbulent one as the old Globe Timeline will clearly indicate. The success and popularity of the theatre during the life of Shakespeare is an outstanding success story for the theatrical entrepreneurs of the era. The Elizabethan era saw the rise in the popularity of theatres and during this time the staging of plays moved from renovated inn-yards to the building of huge out door amphitheatres, such as the Globe, which were used for the summer seasons and the building or renovation of indoor theatres, used in the Winter seasons and by royalty, called Playhouses. Full details of the growth of the Elizabethan theatre can be accessed by clicking Elizabethan Theaters and Playhouses and the timeline helps to clarify the places and events. All of this started in 1576 as the timeline shows.

American Theatre web sites This is not, at all, an exhaustive list of American Theatre sites. If you're looking for anything specific, a simple Google search will probably help you much more. These are sites that stick out for one of several reasons - 1) they may be list of valuable links (another reason not to do that here - no sense reinventing the wheel); 2) they may have a lot of useful images; 3) they may be research or archive oriented (in other words, not a narrative about a person or theatre or play, but a collection of information; 4) they may not show up, for whatever reason, in an average search. For my use, I'm primarily interested in sites with images, since I mostly use these sites for visual aids in my Theatre History classes. There are many images from these pages I use to show my students what these theatres/performers/programs/etc. looked like. My hope is that my reviews will help people to avoid looking at sites they don't need. There are, of course, many sites on playwrights and American Theatre companies, most of which can be found with a simple online search. I've decided not to include links to specific historic theatres, since they can be found either through a search or through the first site on this list. My one exception to that is the Chestnut Street Theatre site, since it's so extensive and includes a virtual tour. I also have not included popular theatre sites unless they can't be found through John Frick's very excellent site.

KINGS THEATRE Southsea, Portsmouth History and Restoration of the Kings Theatre History The Trust The Programme How can I help? History This dignified and beautiful theatre - with its Italian Renaissance style of decor - is one of the best examples of the elegant Edwardian playhouses to be found in the British Isles and one of the few remaining traditional hemp houses. It is the result of the vision and business acumen of John Walter Boughton and the architectural prowess of Frank Matcham, one of the greatest of theatre architects. Although Frank Matcham is much respected and his work is becoming well documented, J W Boughton remains largely unknown outside Portsmouth . In the mid-1850s, the theatre manager Henry Rutley arrived in Portsmouth and took over the Landport Hall. His previous experience in both theatre and circus persuaded him that a theatre could not only be made profitable but would also be a social asset to the town. With only a licence for a limited period he had the faith to re-open the Landport Hall as the New Theatre Royal in 1856. J W Boughton became his assistant and, after the death of both Henry Rutley and his successor J C Hughes, Boughton took over the reins of the Portsmouth Theatre Company in 1882. One of Boughton's first decisions was to undertake a major rebuild of his theatre. To do so he engaged the most famous theatre architect of the day, C A Phipps, who had earlier built the Gaiety, the Theatre Royal and the Haymarket in London, as well as undertaking commissions for the Theatre Royal in Bath, Brighton and Nottingham. This was the Boughton style - to go for the best and to be commercially bold.

The WWW Globe Theatre Store Find all sorts of videos, book, and CDs related to Shakespeare and the Globe including how to build a model! W hen one thinks of classic theatre, Shakespeare often comes to mind. Performing Macbeth, Hamlet, or King Lear today means an actor or actress is refined and disciplined. I n the 16th and 17th centuries, when these plays were first performed, that was hardly the case. Shakespeare wrote these plays to be performed in the Globe Theatre, a public establishment where anyone could see a show for as little as a penny. The Globe housed some of the greatest shows of theatre history, but there are few records of the actual establishment. Its present reconstruction in London has been based on diaries, money logs, educated guesses, examples of other theatres of the day, and the few remains of the actual theatre. This is its story....

History Page A short history to frequently asked questions. The Music Box Theatre' s history is similar to that of other neighborhood movie theaters throughout the city of Chicago with the exception that it was the first small interpretation of a "Movie Palace". It opened on August 22, 1929 as an elaborate little brother to the giant downtown film/presentation houses. It featured second-run films after they left the downtown for the neighborhood circuits. In its declining years, it slipped into a sleazy $1.50 grind house policy showing last years films. The last "Hollywood" film to play here was "The Exorcist" in the fall of 1977. Architect's rendering from the original blue prints published in Theatre Architecture Magazine, August 1929 THE BUILDING return to top of page go to site map INNOVATION At a time when the Movie Palaces in Chicago had seating capacities around 3000 people, the 800 seat Music Box was a tiny theater to be built with such ornamental detail. (Surrounding the Music Box were The Century Theater - seating capacity:2400, The Belmont Theater - seating capacity 2400, The Uptown Theater - seating capacity 4800, as well as The Riviera and the Covent Garden Theaters.) The Theatre Architecture Magazine article of 1929 also notes that The Music Box "represents the smaller, though charming and well equipped, sound picture theatre which is rapidly taking the place of the 'deluxe' palace in the larger proportion of theatre construction activity."

Vaudeville - Stage entertainment consisting of various unrelated acts (as theatre, performing animals, acrobats, comedians, dancers, or singers) The site that the Crest Theatre sits on has housed a theatre since 1912. The first, the Empress, was a vaudeville theatre which opened in 1913. The second, The Hippodrome, was originally a vaudeville house which converted to a motion picture theatre in the late 1920's. In 1946, the Hippodrome interior was demolished and the Crest was built inside the Hippodrome building shell. Opening night for the Crest was Thursday, October 6, 1949 and the picture was "That Midnight Kiss" from MGM. In attendance from Hollywood were stars of the film Kathryn Grayson and Mario Lanza. Government officials included Governor Earl Warren (later Chief Justice of the Supreme Court), and the Honorable Belle Coolidge, the first woman mayor of Sacramento. Searchlights filled the air as the theatre was properly christened. The theatre then began to showcase films for thirty years, until late 1979 when a variety of factors including the decline of the K Street mall, television and the multiplex forced it to close. In 1986, the theatre was re-opened by a group of local Sacramentans with the vision of preserving the Crest for all of Sacramento to enjoy once again. The grand re-opening took place on November 18, 1986 with the MGM musical "Singin' in the Rain" starring Donald O'Connor who attended the event in person. Mr. O'Connor was given a pair of scissors and, with a smile, snipped the celluloid ribbon across the front doors and the Crest was in business again.

The Crump Theatre, Columbus Indiana Home Page About The Historic Columbus Indiana Website Bartholomew County Directory 1903 1904 Bill Stearman ... Write to me Exact origins of Crump's Opera Hall/Theatre are debated among certain circles at this point in time, with both "Opera Hall and Theatre" lumped into one generalized category. Checking different sites on the internet, you'll find that most say the Crump began its operations in 1874. Where this date originated, I am uncertain. If you want to get down to those proverbial brass tacks, however, it all depends on whether you are talking about "Crump's Opera Hall," or "J. S. Crump's New Theatre." In 1872, Francis J. Crump (John Crump's father), contracted for a "new" Opera Hall to be built. The building was located on Washington Street, in the general vicinity of where the SIHO building stands today, or just north of this area on the east side of Washington Street between 4th and 5th. "The street floor of Crump's new building is being rapidly fitted up. One room is already occupied by a provisional store," the Republican reported on Thursday, May 23, 1872.
