Haymarket Theatre (Boston, Massachusetts)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Haymarket Theatre (1796–1803) or Hay-Market Theatre was a theatre in late-18th century Boston, Massachusetts.[1] Organized by Charles Stuart Powell, it occupied a large, wooden building "opposite the Mall on Common (later Tremont) Street, near Hatch's Tavern."[2] In addition to dramatic plays, the theatre presented some 62 musical entertainments during its first 5 years.[3] The Haymarket "was seldom used after 1800, and on March 3, 1803, it was offered for sale at auction on the condition that it be removed in 60 days."[2]
