Teatro Puerto Rico
The Teatro Puerto Rico was music hall focused into the Latino community in the South Bronx section of New York City. During the 1940s to 1950s it precented ''la farándula,'' a vaudeville-style package of Spanish-language events, and attracted entertainers from all over Latin America. In the late 1960s, the neighborhood where the theater was located was in decline and the theater closed its doors until 1994. That year a real estate developer invested funds in renovations. After two years in operation, a political scandal involving misappropriated public funds forced the permanent closure of the theater as such. The building which the theater once occupied, however, is now being used as a place of religious worship.
==Historical background==
Located at 490 East 138th Street, at the corner of Brook Avenue in the Mott Haven section of the Bronx,〔 the theater was built in 1917. It opened its doors in February 1923, under the name of the Forum Theater. The theater, which had 2,300 seats, was a popular gathering spot which provided vaudeville shows and later movies, first for the German immigrant families who lived in the area and then for the Irish and Italian families who came after them.〔 The Forum Theater, which was owned by the Ansel family, struggled to survive and compete with the arrival of the larger modern movie theaters such as Loew’s and RKO.〔
