For more than 20 years, the Broadway Bowling League has give gives the cast and crew of Broadway and Off-Broadway shows a chance to unwind in the friendly environment of Frames Bowling Alley located in Port Authority Bus Terminal. The teams play every Thursday evening at 11:30 PM after the curtains come down, and there are two championships each year, one in the fall, one in the spring.
Several teams have continued to play together long after their shows have closed.
After a break for Broadway Softball this summer, the League will return in the Fall starting September 10. There will also be some open "scrimmages" once a month this summer. For more information about the league, please contact co-comissioners Whitney Anne Adams and Brandon Giles or visit the website: Broadwaybowling.com.
