This blog is dedicated to preserving a record of Brooklyn
theatre theatre-related images based largely on publication in nearly
a half-dozen contemporary Brooklyn newspapers and one weekly magazine (Brooklyn
Life) of 1898-1908. It also lists the week-by-week productions at each
legitimate theatre from January 1898 through December 1908. It is adapted from
my earlier blog, BROOKLYN THEATRE FROM 1898: AN ILLUSTRATED CHRONOLOGY and is
intended as a supplement to a forthcoming two-volume book also called ACROSS
THE RIVER FROM BROADWAY: ANNALS OF THE BROOKLYN STAGE (1898-1908).
The book covers everything related to Brooklyn theatre during
the first decade of the former city's first decade as a borough of Greater New
York, including plays, playhouses, productions, people, producing policies,
scandals, lawsuits, fires, accidents, brawls, ethnic theatres, crimes,
religious attacks, rivalry with Manhattan, and so on. The focus is on
legitimate theatre, but considerable attention is paid to developments in
vaudeville and burlesque as well.
To find a specific month, please use the search box in the upper
left corner. May-June and August-September are always joined, so searches for
one of those months should be, for example, May-June 1906.
