Town Hall is a 1,500-seat nonprofit national historic landmark venue in the heart of New York City.  It was created by suffragists in 1921 and home of countless musical and cultural milestones.  Town Hall has played an integral part in the electrifying cultural fabric of New York City for more than 90 years. Disclosing a tale of a vibrant group of suffragists (The League for Political Education) whose fight for the 19th Amendment led them to build a meeting space to educate people on the important issues of the day.  The Hall was designed by renowned architects McKim, Mead & White to reflect the democratic principles of the League.  Box seats were eliminated and no seats had an obstructed view giving birth to the term "Not a bad seat in the house."​ During completion of the building the 19th Amendment was passed (women's right to vote), and on January 12, 1921 The Town Hall opened its doors and took on a double meaning: as a symbol of the victory sought by its founders, and as a spark for a new, more optimistic climate.
