General Info
The Biograph was purchased by the legitimate Victory Gardens Theatre company in 2004. The interior has been entirely rebuilt, from a venue which could originally seat over 900 to 299 today (which is about 100 more seats than Victory Gardens' old space down the street, which will now be rented out to other area theater companies). The facade was repaired and cleaned and the marquee was rebuilt to resemble it's original apperance. (The words "Victory Gardens" have replaced the word "Essaness" over the neon-lit Biograph name, Essaness being the chain that operated the movie house during the 1930s.)
The Victory Gardens Theater at the Biograph was opened on September 28th, 2006, with Charles Smith's drama, "Denmark".
