The Allen Theatre


Here's an ad for a Peter Yarrow show at the Allen. Not many people came to this, but there were a few hundred, in a place that seated 2,860. After the show Peter signed autographs and sang some songs in the rotunda. A few other shows appear in these ads from 1972. A couple popular local acts were appearing down in Kent, Damnation, and Tiny Alice. I can only assume that Tiny Alice played their local hit "And Now A Word From Our Sponsor"
The Jeff Beck Group show at The Allen was a rather rowdy affair, Glass Harp opened.
