BAM Strong

New York City


This theater, one of NYC's most important cultural institutions, has hosted long runs by important artists like Tony Kushner, Peter Brook and Laurie Anderson. The building itself is a striking combination of ornate and elegant with gritty and industrial – so very Brooklyn. Check the program ahead of time.

Founded as the Majestic in 1904 and abandoned for much of the 1960s and 1970s (blame the TV set), 'the Harvey' was renamed for the executive director who rescued it from decay, and reopened under the banner 'BAM Strong' in October 2019.
