Seeking naming document of Aldridge Theater

Hi,

To which Aldridge Theatre are you referring?

Alice

Dear Ms. Williams,

Thank you for posting your request on History Hub!

We searched the National Archives Catalog and located the National Register of Historic Places and National Historic Landmarks Program Records, 2013 - 2017 in the Records of the National Park Service (Record Group 79) that contains Oklahoma SP Jewel Theater. This has been digitized and may be viewed online using the Catalog. This document includes a brief paragraph on the Aldridge Theater in Oklahoma City, however it does not state who it was named after. The sources in the bibliography may suggest avenues for further research. 

You also may wish to contact organizations that specialize in Oklahoma history such as the Oklahoma Historical Society, the Oklahoma City/County Historical Society, and Oklahoma City’s Metropolitan Library System.

And there is an Ira Aldridge Theater that is managed by Howard University's Department of Theatre Arts. If you are seeking information about this theater, please contact Howard University.

We hope this information is helpful. Best of luck with your research!
