About us

Ideal for elegant receptions, rehearsals or readings, press conferences, executive meetings, or any other intimate gathering, the Apollo Theater can be transformed into an infinite number of looks or styles to suit the needs of your event. The Apollo Theater is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. This Harlem landmark and its surrounding neighborhood offer your guests a cultural milieu that is unique in America and the world, a community that vibrates with the energy of many cultures. The Apollo’s front door opens on Harlem’s busiest commercial street, giving it unbeatable visibility as well as fast access to LaGuardia Airport and many major subway and bus lines. The Apollo’s brilliant marquee is a familiar sight up and down 125th Street – as is the sight of the milling crowds at the box office window. A living monument to the Harlem Renaissance, the Apollo boasts a Belle-Époque crimson décor, spacious public areas, office support facilities, and state-of-the-art sound and lighting equipment in its two theaters – the 1500-seat Mainstage and the intimate 150-seat Soundstage.

Hey there, I'm Jake Schwartz. It's great to meet you! I performed my first magic shows at 2 years old, making my food “disappear” for my parents at every meal. I quickly became obsessed with the moments a magic trick could create. | However, not everyone enjoys being “FOOLED” over and over by a kid, so I learned how to tell STORIES through my magic. Suddenly, people weren’t made to be the FOOL, they were PART of a STORY. | Since then, I've won international awards, appeared on television over 70 times, performed in 3 World Tours with the most viral sports team on the planet as The Savannah Bananas’ Magician First Base Coach, and subsequently launched my very own theater tour - "The Game Changing Magic Tour: The World's Only Magic Show For Sports Fans." | This personable, up-beat, and experiential style of magic allowed me to help companies listed on the fortune-500, mom-and-pop businesses, new start-ups, Major League sports teams, World-Series Champions, A-List celebrities, and private groups across the country break down walls, get to know each other, and create LASTING memories through magic. | If you're looking for a personable, engaging, and mind blowing experience for your group - send me/my team a message!
