The Bowery Theatre was a playhouse in the Bowery neighborhood of New York City. Although it was founded by rich families to compete with the upscale Park Theatre the Bowery saw its most successful period under the populist pro-American management of Thomas Hamblin in the 1830s and 1840s. By the 1850s the theatre came to cater to immigrant groups such as the Irish Germans and Chinese. It burned down four times in 17 years a fire in 1929 destroying it for good.
