38 Commerce Street. The experimental Cherry Lane Theatre was formed in 1924 by Edna St. Vincent Millay and a group of friends. Located in a former brewery, it continued to be used as a theater after the initial company disbanded in 1926. During the early 1960s, the Cherry Lane had a close association with playwright Edward Albee, featuring his The Zoo Story, The American Dream, The Sandbox, and The Death of Bessie Smith. In 1969 the theater put on To Be Young, Gifted and Black, a retrospective look at the life and career of Lorraine Hansberry. Recent successes include the revival of Joe Orton's Entertaining Mr. Sloane and David Steven's The Sum of Us.
