Intended primarily for children's theatre, the theatre was home to many Broadway tryouts during the 1930's and was the original site for the Joseph Papp New York Shakespeare Festival. The theatre was the site for a special tribute to Tito Puente, as part of the 39th Annual GRAMMY awards and is now part of the New York City's Historic Music Trail.
