{"value"=>"<p> The Neighborhood Playhouse was founded in 1915 by Alice and Irene Lewisohn, as part of the Henry Street Settlement. Many early 20th century modern dancers and artists found a professional home at the Neighborhood Playhouse, including composers Ernest Bloch, Kurt Schindler, and Louis Horst, who also worked with Martha Graham. Other notables whose works were produced at the Neighborhood Playhouse include Agnes de Mille, Laura Elliott, Doris Humphrey and Charles Weidman.</p> <p>The Neighborhood Playhouse Theatre closed in 1927 and the Neighborhood Playhouse School of the Theatre was founded in 1928 by the Lewisohn sisters in association with Rita Wallach Morgenthau.</p>"}
