The Tank (theater)

  • ... that the off-off-Broadway theater The Tank got its name because someone thought its original space looked like a fishtank? Source: "The Tank’s founders got a break at the start when their theatre-district landlord, who was planning to sell his building, gave them a month-to-month lease at very low rent. The place had a wall of glass that faced 42nd Street, “so someone described it as a fish tank. Then the ‘fish’ got dropped,” is how Krebs explains the name." Ref 2
