Description
The legendary Apollo Theater much more than an historic landmark – it is a source of pride and a symbol of the brilliance of American artistic achievement. It is a place where thousands of young artists have stepped out into the spotlight and launched their careers. Recently, the Apollo Theater Foundation developed a vision to restore the Apollo’s position as a leading performing arts venue and to firmly establish the Apollo as a community-centered institution. No other institution has had a greater impact on the entertainment industry and world culture as a whole.The legendary Apollo Theater much more than an historic landmark – it is a source of pride and a symbol of the brilliance of American artistic achievement.
