THE
SOHO PLAYHOUSE (The House) stands on land that was once Richmond
Hill, a colonial mansion that served as headquarters for General George
Washington & later home to Aaron Burr. Purchased from Burr in 1817,
the land was then developed into federalist-style row houses by fur magnate
John Jacob Astor.
This building, at 15 Van Dam Street, was designated at the Huron Club,
a popular meeting house & night club for the Democratic Party. The
turn of the century brought the Tammany Hall machine to the Huron Club.
Prominent regulars included “Battery” Dan Finn & the infamous
Jimmy “Beau James” Walker, known as "The night Mayor"
due to his predilection for jazz clubs & chorus girls.
The main floor was transformed into a theater in the 1920’s, &
in the 60's operated as the Village South, home to Playwrights Unit Workshop
under the direction of Edward Albee. It was on this stage that Mr. Albee
produced many first works of Terrance Mcnally, John Guare, Lanford Wilson,
Sam Shephard, AR Gurney & Leroi Jones.
Under the new management of Darren Lee Cole & Faith Mulvihill, the
newly renovated SoHo Playhouse continues to serve the downtown theater
community as an historic 199 seat Off Broadway venue. The Huron Club below
is an intimate 55 seat cabaret & bar steeped in the history of Old
New York.
