BAM Harvey Theater

Winner of the 1988 Architectural Theater Award, the Harvey (formerly the Majestic) is a self-contained venue located at 651 Fulton Street, with a capacity of 874 seats. Originally a traditional playhouse, housing Shakespearean revivals, vaudeville reviews, and musicals, the theater was converted into a movie house in 1942, only to be abandoned in 1968. This unique space was obtained in 1987 by BAM's then-president Harvey Lichtenstein for the landmark production of Peter Brook's The Mahabharata. Creatively renovated since, the Harvey's interior lends a unique element to every performance on its inimitable stage.
