Summary

| Description |
English: The Irvington Town Hall Theater was built in 1902 and restored in 1979-80. It was designed to be a replica of Ford's Theatre in Washington, where Abraham Lincoln was assassinated, and when completed it was widely thought to be one of the best "opera houses" in the Hudson Valley. For decades the social life of Irvington revolved around the theatre, which hosted concerts, recitals, balls, cotillions, graduations, minstrel shows, school plays, auditions, political rallies and public meetings. However, it gradually fell into disuse and disrepair by the 1960s, being used only for occasional exhibitions and overnight "camping" by the local Boy Scout troops. In 1978 concerted citizen action led to it being completely renovated and revitalized, and it re-opened in 1980, run by Irvington Town Hall Theater, Inc., a non-profit corporation under the auspices of the Town Hall Theater Commission, whose members are appointed by the mayor. Today, the Town Hall Theater presents a wide variety of events, including concerts, plays, musicals and films in its 432-seat facility. |
