Built 1924; architect, Herbert J. Krapp. Landmark Site: Borough of Manhattan Tax Map Block 1017, Lot 48. On June 14 and 15, 1982, the Landmarks Preservation Commission held a public hearing on the proposed designation as a Landmark of the Forty-Sixth Street Theater and the proposed designation of the related Landmark Site (Item No. 29). The hearing was continued to October 19, 1982. Both hearings had been duly advertised in accordance with the provisions of law. Eighty-one witnesses spoke or had statements read into the record in favor of designation. One witness spoke in opposition to designation. The owner, with his representatives, appeared at the hearing, and indicated that he had not formulated an opinion regarding designation.

DESCRIPTION AND ANALYSIS The Forty-Sixth Street Theater survives today as one of the historic theaters that symbolize American theater for both New York and the nation. Built during the mid-1920s, the Forty-Sixth Street was among the half-dozen theaters constructed by the Chanin Organization, to the designs of Herbert J. Krapp, that typified the development of the Times Square/Broadway theater district. Founded by Irwin S. Chanin, the Chanin organization was a major construction company in New York. During the 1920s, Chanin branched out into the building of theaters, and helped create much of the ambience of the heart of the theater district.

In The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas by Larry L. King and Peter Masterson, the titled place of ill-repute was nicknamed the Chicken Ranch. In Wyoming locals referred to such places as Hog Ranches. Established to supply wine, women, and song to military outposts in the nineteenth century, the history of the Hog Ranches has received little attention until now. It is the story of these dens which Larry K. Brown pursues here. The book has the cover of a dime store novel and a title that draws immediate attention.

  • To Our Guest Directors, Designers and Stage Managers
    To our guest directors, designers and stage managers, Welcome! We are delighted that you have chosen to be a part of our 31st Season. We are looking forward to a year full of new challenges, rewards, and friendships. We hope to make your time with us enjoyable and productive, and to this end we have provided you with this informational packet. Please take the time to browse the packet and learn a bit about us. Included in your handbook are production calendar(s), contacts (as current) for your production’s artistic team, information about the shops and the design deadlines, and much more. Please take the time to review our prelim and final design deadline materials requirements. Please contact the production office, or the respective production department head(s) for the most current drawings, inventories and information as this info is updated more often than our handbook. We will all have to work hard to realize your vision within a tight and conservative financial structure. We have had to cut back after our 30th Anniversary season with it’s $1 million dollar supplemental gift to budgets that are more reflective of the new normal of these leaner times. Last season our average show budget was over $160,000. This year the average is less than $100,000. Please consider yourself forewarned that we want your help. We need you to adhere to design deadlines, return those phone calls and emails as soon as you can, in order that we get the most bang for the buck. Sometimes we start a little early in order make the best use of our labor resources.
