More about the book

The book explores Brooklyn's vibrant theatrical culture before its incorporation into Greater New York in 1898. It highlights the rise of numerous theaters competing for audiences, yet many locals favored the convenience of traveling to Manhattan for performances. The completion of the Brooklyn Bridge in 1883 further diminished support for local venues, illustrating the struggle of Brooklyn's theaters against the dominance of Manhattan's entertainment scene.
