New York City has a "best
kept secret" that is taking the city by storm!
On February 15, 1930 the Loew's Company opened a 3,293 seat
Wonder Theatre designed by Thomas Lamb for
vaudeville and movies. From the Opening Day Parade in 1930
to the recent sold-out Fernando Villalona Concert, the goal
to bring "Times Square Entertainment" uptown has
been successfully achieved. Purchased by Dr. Frederick Eikerenkoetter
and Christ Community United Church in 1969, this historic
"jewel box" was exquisitely restored and is still
maintained for concerts and recitals, classes and lectures,
Robert Morton Pipe Organ recitals (one of five such organs
remaining worldwide), multi-cultural church activities (bilingual),
as well as major film and television shoots. Help us to
celebrate the 77th year of this New York treasure with several
very special events and the culturally diverse Washington
Heights - Inwood commmunity.
