By the early 1970s, the firehouse had been abandoned, and Miriam Colon revived the building as a home for the Puerto Rican Traveling Theater.[2][3] In 2007, the theater began showing productions of the Forbidden Broadway series of shows.[4] In June 2017, Spamilton, a parody of the musical Hamilton moved to the theatre from the Triad Theatre.[5]
