Brook Arts Center, formerly Brook Theatre (opened 1927), is a historic theater in Bound Brook, New Jersey.[4] It was designed by William E. Lehman.[5] Originally used as a vaudeville house, the 1300 seat theater was the hub of a theater district serving surrounding towns and counties. As motion pictures took over in the 1930s, the theater became a performing arts center and first run movie house, operating continuously until the flood of 1999.[2]
The theater is notable for its contributions to Bound Brook and remains the only surviving vaudeville theater in Somerset County.[2] It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2014.[1]
The theater has suffered flood damage, and no longer puts on its own productions, although it does rent out its space. The theater now has a total of 630 seats, less than half of its original capacity.
