Board Alley Theatre
__NOTOC__
The Board Alley Theatre (1792–1793) was an illegal theatre in Boston, Massachusetts in the late 18th century. Also called the New Exhibition Room, it was located in Board Alley in the Financial District. Although some in town supported the theatre, others vehemently opposed it. Governor John Hancock forced it to close in June 1793.〔Loren K. Ruff. Joseph Harper and Boston's Board Alley Theatre, 1792–1793. Educational Theatre Journal, Vol. 26, No. 1 (Mar., 1974)〕
==History==
The "New Exhibition Room" was created by supporters of theatre in Boston, who had in 1791 unsuccessfully attempted to repeal a law of 1750 outlawing theatrical performances. "It was clear that if Boston was to have a theatre it must be in evasion or defiance of the law. ... An association was accordingly formed with this end in view, consisting of Joseph Russell, Dr. Charles Jarvis, Gen. Henry Jackson, Joseph Barrell and Joseph Russell, Jr. was appointed to erect a building that should be a theatre in everything except in name."〔George Oberkirsh Seilhamer. "The Beginning at Boston." (History of the American Theatre ): New foundations. Philadelphia: Globe Printing House, 1891; p.13+〕
Charles Stuart Powell served as manager. The building "had a pit, a row of boxes forming three sides of a square, and a gallery ... accommodating about 500 persons."〔 Shows typically consisted of two separate dramatic numbers—one serious, one comic—interspersed with slack rope, singing, and/or dancing. To avoid unnecessary provocation of the law, performances were sometimes advertised as "moral lectures" rather than "theatre."
