I would like to add the Ideal Theatre in Manhattan, aka the Playpen Theatre. It is in imminent danger of demolition. It is the last existing vaudeville theatre in the Times Square theatre district. The Committee to Save the Playpen is working on a plan to move the theatre, but time is working against them.

You can find out more by contacting the Committee at You can contact Richard Kielar, Sr. VP for Corp. Comm. for the Tishman Corporation, the theatre’s owner, at Thanks!

The theatre is being marketed by the Downtown Partnership as retail space; there is reportedly very little left of the interior. However, I would like to try and do something about this. If anyone would like to help, please get in touch with me.
