Fourteenth Street Theatre
The Fourteenth Street Theatre was a theatre located at 107 West 14th Street just west of Sixth Avenue in Manhattan, New York City.
It was designed by Alexander Saeltzer and opened in 1866 as the Theatre Français, as a home for French language dramas and opera.
The theatre was renamed the Lyceum in 1871. In 1879, it was taken over by producer J.H. Haverly, who renamed it Haverly's 14th Street Theatre. By the mid-1880s, it had become simply the Fourteenth Street Theatre.
By the mid-1910s, it was being used as a movie theatre. Actress Eva Le Gallienne made it the home of her stage company, renaming it the Civic Repertory Theatre in 1926. She conducted acting classes and mounted 34 successful productions at the theatre, but the Great Depression ended that venture in 1934.
The building was demolished in 1938.
