There is no place like Loew’s King Theatre, located on Flatbush Avenue in Central Brooklyn. Loew’s King Theatre opened in 1929 and housed forty seven years of performances until it came to a standstill in 1977. But even after thirty six years of closure, the theatre is going to come back to life.
I would like to write a story covering this Theatre and its historical architecture as well as, the theatre’s influence on neighborhood members of the past, and the theatre’s influence on neighborhood members in present times. Since this is a new time period, how will the theatre adapt to the current times and what is viewed as “ in” What does the younger generation, have to look forward to with this reconstruction? Also, if it is possible I would like to find the answer to two things. I would like to find out and report on why the theatre is only now being restored? Why did the reconstruction process push back in terms of when the reconstruction was supposed to be start?
Sources: I would like to interview people in the Flatbush community and people in Central Brooklyn, youths and senior citizens. I also will include research.
