August Hall at 420 Mason Street was originally built in the 1890s as a Victorian Playhouse by celebrated architect August Headman. In the 1940s it became a USO club called the “Stage Door.”
Later it started showing films as the “Stage Door Theatre” and hosted the premiere of the Alfred Hitchcock film Vertigo on May 9, 1958 and by the early 1980s, it had become the Regency III movie theater.
With historic roots in nightlife and entertainment August Hall has been remodeled to become one of Union Square’s premier venues for live music and events. With sprawling 32-foot ceilings, 100 year old architecture, and new drapery outlining its historic stained glass windows, our Music Hall is a pristine restoration of one of the City’s original masterpieces.
