Chatham Garden Theatre, Theatre in Manhattan, United States
The Chatham Garden Theatre stood on Chatham Street between Pearl and Duane streets, featuring a large performance space with canvas covering the outdoor area.
Opening its doors on May 17, 1824, the Chatham Garden Theatre emerged as a direct competitor to the Park Theatre in lower Manhattan.
The venue introduced two groundbreaking American operas to audiences: The Sawmill in 1824 and The Forest Rose in 1825.
The theatre location extended through Augustus Street, providing multiple access points for visitors arriving from different parts of Manhattan.
In 1832, the theatre transformed into the Free Presbyterian Chatham Street Chapel, where Charles Grandison Finney conducted religious gatherings.
