Having The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel here was…. you guessed it…marvelous! We personally love seeing our stage transformed to a different era, reminiscent of our past!

In 1985, the Little Sisters of Hoboken moved into Cherry Lane Theatre… we have had a soft spot in our hearts for singing nuns ever since. 😉
Nunsense, by Dan Goggin had its Off Broadway premiere at CLT in 1985 and then a 25th anniversary revival in 2010.
Here are some of our favorite photos from the revival and a photo of the original poster that currently hangs in the theatre.
Did we mention it’s National Nunsense Day?!
Congrats to Dan Goggin & all the Little Sisters of Hoboken out there! 🍒 ❤️

💫 99 years ago tonight .. audiences were getting ready for “Saturday Night” ….the show that is! By Robert Presnell.
The new Cherry Lane Playhouse had only been open for a mere few months.
This illustration was drawn to capture opening night and was featured in The NY Times Feb 10, 1924.
To get an idea of what the theatre looked like in 1924 .. check out the photo by the Brown Brothers on the right side. 🍒

Endgame. There have been many renditions… but only one premiered 64 years ago tonight.
The American premiere of Samuel Beckett’s Endgame debuted at Cherry Lane on Jan 28, 1958.
Take a peek at a behind the scenes photo of Clov & Hamm onstage, an original playbill and the original show poster from that moment in history.
Endgame was directed by Alan Schneider and starred Alvin Epstein, Lester Rawlings, P.J. Kelly and Nydia Westman.

80 years ago today in Cherry Lane history, the Savoy Opera Guild was singing their hearts out on our stage. Throughout the early 40s they would go on to stage many Gilbert & Sullivan operas at Cherry Lane.
In 1943, Al Hirschfeld attending The Pirates of Penzance, beautifully captured the essence of the performers & the audience chatting in between acts on Commerce St.
This drawing appeared in The NY Times in August 1943. 🍒

Cherry Lane Theatre celebrates the life of Ed Bullins.
Playwright, luminary, mentor, friend.
It’s been our honor to have Ed as a CLT Mentor since 2003. An inspiration to all of us, we would like to share one of his CLT Mentee’s memories of working with Ed.
“My first meeting with Ed was in a Village dive bar. We had left the first one because Ed “didn’t know what the vibe was about” and “wanted to make sure I felt safe.” We talked for four hours; he was so generous, thoughtful, perceptive, fair. It’s a strange feeling to meet someone and feel that you are stepping simultaneously into both history and the future. It was like that with Ed. He made me feel safe, so I stepped as far as I could. Theatre has lost a light, but gained a powerful memory.” ~ Anton Dudley, mentored by Ed Bullins, 2003 in the development of the play Slag Heap.
Much love to all of Ed’s family and friends. ♥️

🍒 Flashback to Fall of 1963!
Greenwich Village was alive with art and politics. It was a year that saw a rise in experimental work at the theatre as it became home to a new generation of artists.
“Corruption in the Palace of Justice” by Ugo Betti, directed by Richard Altman ran for 103 performances.
The show was included in a new series being produced by “Theatre 1964” which included Richard Barr, Clinton Wilder and Edward Albee.
(And apparently there is still no parking allowed on the street. ☺️)

A theater is more than a building.. it’s the sheer force of the people who bring it to life.
We are thrilled to share our first night back in the Cherry Lane Studio Theatre with you!
Songs of Our Mothers, Stories of Our Fathers - an evening of original work in celebration of NYC artists & theater - was brilliantly created by the team at Actors Theatre of NYC.
💫 Over 30 artists came together to create a night of theatre magic.
The studio sat quietly during the shutdown…waiting to be reanimated. It underwent a renovation while it patiently waited for the energy of actors, crew & audience…
Sending a shout out of thanks to all the artists, patrons and our community whose passion & energy brought the CLT studio theatre back to life. 🍒 ❤️

Cherry Lane Theatre mourns the loss of 2 American theatre giants, Liz McCann & Jean-Claude van Itallie.
Both Liz and Jean-Claude were part of the Cherry Lane family for over 45 years. Liz McCann first began working as a manager at Cherry Lane in the 1950s before becoming a producing legend years later.
Jean-Claude van Itallie wrote “Mystery Play” and it was produced at Cherry Lane in 1973. They both continued as active master class teachers and as mentors.
Through the years they have been our champions, supporters and inspiration.
Forever Cherry Lane family members, we continue to be inspired by them. 🍒 ❤️

"Feeding the Dragon": extraordinary 1-woman show about an African-American family living for many years above a public library on Manhattan's upper West side. Brilliantly acted/articulated by the daughter, Sharon Washington (who is also the author, who "lived" the story), the action proceeds from delightful, "light" vignettes of her somewhat isolated childhood until, suddenly concluding with what I found to be a stunning revelation of insight. As I think of it now, its impact was as powerful for me as the conclusion of Faulkner's "The Sound and the Fury." HIGHLY RECOMMENDED, RUNS THROUGH APRIL 27th.
