I just read the theater description above. Does full stage mean that it has elements like theatrical traps, and what we call in theater a “fly system”? That is a system where they can store flats and lower them from above.
According to the play I mentioned earlier, A DAY IN HOLLYWOOD/ A NIGHT IN THE UKRAINE, Grauman got the idea for the footprints when he accidentally stepped back into wet cement while watching the masons laying the pavement. Is that an accurate account? Did they take artistic liberties?
We really need someone who is interested in theaters. Maybe we should try some promoters who have money enough and are also interested in construction.
That would be okay, just so long as the theater itself is not split. The hotel above the Palace Theater in Manhattan was built so that it does not touch the roof. What’s this Boymelgreen’s E-Mail? That would really be some help. Maybe we should also contact whoever built the hotel and see what they think.
I know the Albee was near the Kings. There is again buzz about reopening the Kings on their section of the site (1360). I see some of you were to that page, but maybe the others would like to look.
What would you all think of putting in a show about Brooklyn if and when we reopen this theater? I am the writer who is writing one. I also haven’t heard a response from this page lately
Bruce1 just wrote me that the main reason they may not be letting people into the theater is insurance. I apologize if I offended anybody on this page. However, the asbestos study has been completed, and that is apparently not a problem.
According to Bruce1 the city plans to receive requests for proposals in April. That is when the city will let in perspective developers. Right now, I hope they find somebody.
Did any of you guys in California know that Grauman’s Chinese Theater is the setting for the Day in Hollywood from the 1970s Broadway Musical “A Day in Hollywood/ A Night in the Ukraine”?
This was probably before my time, I’m not old enough to remember dish nights and stuff like that. I would like to add that in the 1980s I went to Brooklyn College and lived out on Long Island. My Mother would take me in to Kings County Hospital, where she worked, and sometimes I took the bus. When the Nostrand Avenue Bus passed the Granada I saw that old marquis and it was like seeing an old friend.
Maybe I should explain. I heard the El Capitan has stage shows much like they once did at Radio City Music Hall in New York, near where I live. This would be a great return to the past. I plan to visit the LA Area in late March, and want to see a movie at one of these picture palaces.
Dog throughout it’s life? I recall the beautiful blue curtains, and lights that adorned the theater when it was a single screen. That was no single screen woofer.
That would mean they could hold Broadway Productions at the Kings.

CM Performing Arts is presently presenting an excellent production of the SCARLET PIMPERNEL if anyone wants to see it.
I heard it was an actress too.
That’s too bad

Is the marquis still there? I know the place was changed to a retail store. Then again it’s also said the Granada was demolished.
Apparently I was wrong. I thought there was a forth theater by Erasmus. Apparently there were only the Albemarle, the Rialto, and the Kings.
Did the Albee ever play THOROUGHLY MODERN MILLIE in the 1960s? I think I may have saw it there.

Why did I have to be born in 1961?! There are so many great Brooklyn Theaters I don’t remember! Man! I wish I went to the Fox!

You should make them available in video, Bruce 1.
I know there is already a Broadway Show about Brooklyn. Mine has a different premise.

Mine still will but I wasn’t sure whether I could receive it on my computer. It does not have realtime player.

Then what you people need to do is maybe form a committee to save it. I was never to the Beekman, but it seems that would be a good idea.
Maybe one day they may tryout one of my shows (Although I have my doubts considering I’m newcomer)…Thanks Bruce One.

What exactly do you mean by indoor theme park? Wasn’t this supposed to be a performance venue?

Does the El Capitan have many stage shows?

Thank you guys. I hope these will be helpful when I visit California in March.
