Cezar del Valle, The Brooklyn Theatre Index - Book Launch.
From Downtown to Bushwick to Brighton Beach, theatres could once be found in every neighborhood of Brooklyn. Cezar Del Valle shares his unrivaled knowledge of borough showplaces in a lively illustrated lecture celebrating the launching of his Brooklyn Theatre Index. The first volume, covering theatres from Adams Street to Lorimer, has just been published.
And with rare images, he will discuss the third volume devoted exclusively to Coney Island, exploring some of the myths and explaining why the number "4" is ridiculous.
A free, autographed copy of volume one of this incredible series will be raffled off as a door prize!
