About the Apollo Theater
The Apollo Theater is a theater for many uses in Upper Manhattan's Harlem neighborhood. Its address is 253 West 125th Street, between Frederick Douglass Boulevard and Adam Clayton Powell Jr. Boulevard. It was originally Hurtig & Seamon's New Theatre. It is a popular stage for Black American performers, and Showtime at the Apollo, a TV show, is based there. George Keister designed it with elements of the neoclassical style, with approximately 1,500 seats spread over three levels. Both its facade and its interior are designated New York City landmarks and are included in the National Register of Historic Places.
Jules Hurtig and Harry Seamon, theatrical producers, developed it as a burlesque house in 1913, and at first it served only white patrons. The Minsky brothers leased it in 1928. Sydney Cohen acquired it in 1934, after which it hosted Black performers. Frank Schiffman's family ran it from 1935 to 1976, and Percy Sutton purchased it at auction in 1981. It reopened in 1985 after a major refurbishment. In September 1991 a state agency bought it and assigned its operation to the nonprofit Apollo Theater Foundation. Its Amateur Night at the Apollo, one of its longest-running events, is a weekly show in which audiences rate novice acts.
The main facade, three stories high, faces 125th Street. Its second and third stories are white glazed terracotta dating from the theater's 1914 opening, arranged in four bays divided by fluted pilasters with Ionic capitals. The plan is L-shaped, with a narrow lobby leading in from 125th Street and the auditorium behind it, on 126th Street. A stump called the Tree of Hope, which performers rubbed for luck, was moved into the lobby after a 2006 renovation.
