This theatre had a stong sense of immigrant indentity because it was run by Jewis immigrants. They also gave off a nice and welcoming enviorment for all to come and expirirnce a part of the Jewish culture. They would tend to play 20-30 plays a night for all to view upon and enjoy. They had a very dense population of mostly immigrants and there were also people of different political standpoints coming together to enjoy these plays.
General Characteristics

They showcased many plays such as traditional Jewish plays, Shakespear, vaudevillian acts, comedies, original plays, musicals, operettas, and burlesque shows
Examples
This theatre district was a way for the Jewish to come together and show off their traditional plays. I belive its a shame that the district started to lose popularity by WWll sue to all of the anti semitism forcing the Jewish to move more north in New York. This was a safe community for these to enjoy plays and I feel like it should've lasted longer than it did.

Decline of Yiddish Theatre district
The build up towards WWll and the start of the war were main causes of the downfall of the this distrcit. All of the anti semtic media eventually drove them away from living in this area, which caused this district to die off. Also Germans in this area already didn't take too kindly to the district becuase of anti semetism being very popular in Germany at the time.
