The Duplex cabaret theater opened during the 1950s, and is still an international destination for arts and entertainment, providing nightly performances as varied and colorful as the streets of the West Village.
Originally under the direction of Tony Award winning actor Hal Holbrook, the club has built its reputation as a dynamic platform for new and emerging talent, performers seeking to launch their career and hone their craft. Luminaries such as Woody Allen, Joan Rivers, and Barbra Streisand are among the talent who graced The Duplex's stage early on in their careers.
