The Haus, The Bronx, and Vaudeville
As a company, our goal is to take our children beyond the stage and provide them with real-world, commercial experiences through Performing Arts. With this in mind, we aim to bring Vaudeville-inspired theatre performances back to the Bronx.​

As a company, our goal is to take our children beyond the stage and provide them with real-world, commercial experiences through Performing Arts. With this in mind, we aim to bring Vaudeville-inspired theatre performances back to the Bronx.
​
Established in 1897, The Metropolis, the Bronx’s first theater, hosted vaudeville and other variety shows.
This French style of theatre was present in the Bronx until the late 1930s. Its decline occurred due to inventions like television and the impact of the Great Depression. Our ultimate goal is to reclaim one of our historic Bronx theatres as our own brick-and-mortar location.
​
Today, the closest thing to Vaudeville is a "talent show," and we have those all the time. What is missing is structure, vision, and intentional execution to revive Vaudeville, where families can have an enriching experience and the performing arts can thrive.
​
If you google “Vaudeville in the Bronx,” you will find "forgotten theatres." If you believe in the arts, then you must believe in its expression. Our work in the performing arts goes beyond simple choreography for children. It’s about encouraging children and unifying families and the community.
