The Arcade Theartre and moive house (aka “the Itch”) (Studio One) was constructed in 1913 after the Lynbrook Lyceum burned down. It had a seating capacity of 549.
The Lynbrook Lyceum was built sometime between 1890-1892. It burned down in 1913.
I think I also read that the Lynbrook Airdrome was an outdoor theater, constructed on the site of the Lyceum. It supposively had seats for a thousand.

If you get a chance to read this book it has tons of great information on this town and old photos.
Mike here’s a tip. If Lynbrook got movies that come out more recently more Peole would go to lynbrook. What me and my friends do is we check were the movies playing. IF it isn’t in LYnbrook than we go to Rockville Center. I prefer to go to Lynbrook personally because it is right in town.
Mike, if I would have to do a video project could i possibly do it on the thearter, get a tour, etc..
is the closed down “Fantasy Play House” part of the theater?
Ed is also right if the building is structurally sound than some renavations could be done. also if they were to tear down the thearter and rebuild what would it do to traffic on Merrick Road?
If students can’t do the actual work than could they at least raise money for renevations? that is an equal opportunity for service hours.
Mike
well being manager of lynbrook you could probably answer this.
Students at ther highschool and middle schools need community service hours. if they’re in national honnor society they need more. Couldn’t students do some of the fixing up?
i know certain paints are lethal if inhaled and students wouldn’t be allowed to paint with it. if it isn’t an inhalent than students could paint, and do some other jobs right?
Ed, sorry i haven’t gotten the picture to you yet. My friend is like a genius and were putting a Lynbrook sight together. We’ll put the picture up on that site. I’ll give you the url once it’s decent.
Ed i just went to St. Raymonds today and lookd at the photos and there is one of “The First Mass” at the Lynbrook Lyceum!! ill take a picture of it and put it on photobucket. if u want 2 see it u enter the church through the Atlantic Ave. doors, walk all the way down to the alter stairs, make a left before the stairs, walk through the doors, the photos are to your left before the boxes. Thanks Ed.
Well Ed I agree your right about the RVC Fantasy being the strongest competition. When the movies aren’t in Lynbrook me and my friends go to RVC. They usually have it if Lynbrook doesnt, we dont go to Green Acres cause of the shootings and stuff in the past, Malverne and Franklin Square are far for walking.
Mike I’m sure for some of the work such as painting possibly installing seats and whatnot can be done by students for community service hours. What ever happend to the Fantasy Playhouse? I don’t know how you could demolish that theartre. Like the Lynbrookteen dude pointed out it has alot of history. I too was up in the stage for some party years ago. The theatre has been around quite awhile. I’ve found pictures online www.lynbrookpba.org/OldLynbrook1.htm Check it out.

Yes, the Lynbrook Airdrome was built on the spot of the Lynbrook Lyceum in 1915.
