Description: The SoHo Playhouse in the Huron Club Building at 15 Vandam Street between Sixth Avenue and Varick Street in the South Village section of the Greenwich Village neighborhood of Manhattan, New York City, was a meeting place and club for the Democratic Party, including, at the turn of the 19th Century, Tammany Hall. It was converted into a theatre in the 1920s, and in the 1960s was known as the "Village South", which was home to Edward Albee's Playwrights Unit Workshop. Today the building includes a 199-seat off-Broadway theatre, the SoHo Playhouse, and a 55-seat bar and cabaret space called the "Huron Club". The building is located within the Charlton - King - Vandam Historic District. (Sources: "NYCLPC Charlton - King - Vandam Designation Report" and "About Us" on the SoHo Playhouse website)
