The Provincetown Playhouse is an historic theatre at 133 MacDougal Street in Greenwich Village New York City. It is named for the Provincetown Players, who converted the former bottling plant into a theater in 1918. The original players were Eugene O’Neill, Edna St. Vincent Millay and Djuna Barnes. Paul Robeson performed at the theatre. E. E. Cummings had his plays performed in the building. Bette Davis made her New York stage debut in the facility. The theater was originally located at 139 MacDougal when it opened in 1916; it moved to its current space in 1918. The building was extensively renovated in 1940.〔(NYU Steinhardt School of Culture, Education, and Human Development; Facilities: Provincetown Playhouse )〕 There has been controversy over whether the site deserves to have landmark status. The New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission on April 29, 2008 said that the site did not have the "historical and architectural integrity required for individual New York City landmark designation."〔(New York Times, ''Rebuilt Theater Opening Amid Debate'', December 10, 2010 )〕 Also in 2008 the New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation found the building eligible for listing on the State and National Registers of Historic Places, in response to a request from the Greenwich Village Society for Historic Preservation (GVSHP). The same year, New York University proposed to demolish the entire building and rebuild a facility for its law school, as well as a new theater.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://thevillager.com/villager_260/nyuwoulddrop.html )〕 In the face of community opposition, NYU agreed to preserve just six percent of the old building: the walls containing the small theater in the southern corner of the building. However, during construction, behind construction barriers and invisible from the street, NYU tore down parts of the walls they promised to preserve, a fact revealed by GVSHP.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.gvshp.org/_gvshp/preservation/ptown/doc/ltr-nyu-11-19-10.pdf )〕 == Chronology of the Provincetown Playhouse ==
