John Street Theatre (Manhattan)
John Street Theatre, situated at 15-21 John Street, sometimes called "The Birthplace of American Theatre,"〔(Mapsites: Hannah Hammel and Anna Green )〕 was the first permanent theatre in New York.〔The Oxford Companion to the Theatre (Fourth Edition)〕 It opened on 7 Dec 1767 and was operated for many years by the American Company. It closed on 13 January 1798.
== Construction and Opening ==
The theatre was built by David Douglass (c1720-1786), an English actor who had emigrated to Jamaica in about 1750. There he met Lewis Hallam, leader of a touring theatrical company, and, after Hallam's death, married his widow.〔(The Douglas Archives: David Douglass )〕 The newly married pair formed the American Company from Hallam's old company and toured the United States performing and, where necessary, erecting theatres, across America. Douglass had built two temporary theatres in New York - on Cruger's Wharf and on Beekman Street - but his third New York theatre, the John Street Theatre, was the city's first permanent playhouse.〔〔(The Mid-Atlantic Region: Robert P Marzec )〕
The John Street Theatre was modelled after Douglass's own Southwark Theatre in Philadelphia (the first permanent theatre in the United States),〔 which was itself modelled on the theatres of London.〔 No pictures survive of the building's exterior,〔 Dunlap described it as "principally of wood, an unsightly object, painted red." It was set 60 feet back from the street, with a wooden covered walkway from the pavement to the doors.〔〔 Inside, it had two tiers of boxes, a pit and a gallery. The dressing rooms and greenroom were located in a neighbouring shed,〔 although Dunlap speculates that these were originally under the stage.〔 Its seating capacity was approximately 750.〔(Demolished Broadway Theatres )〕
John Street opened on 7 December 1767〔(Cambridge Guide to American Theatre )〕 with a production of "The Beaux' Stratagem,"〔 and for 31 years was the only theatre in Manhattan.〔
