Benjamin Butler Davenport, playwright, producer, actor and theater manager, was born in New York City in 1871. His theatrical career began in his teens when he apprenticed for one year with Augustin Daly's repertory company. However, five years later, family financial difficulties forced him into the real estate business in Stamford, Connecticut (1901-1908). In 1909 he started a project to build a new playhouse on 63rd Street in New York City to house a repertory stock company producing modern American plays. This project failed, however, when a backer abandoned the project. In 1910 Lee and J. J. Shubert produced his play "Keeping Up Appearances," an autobiographical work about a cruel father that was presented in a naturalist style. After it failed at the box office, Davenport returned to real estate in Connecticut, where he also founded a small acting company.
In 1915 Davenport opened a new, small theatrical venue, the Bramwell Playhouse, at 138 East 27th Street in New York City. In 1923 it was renamed the Davenport Free Theatre with a new mission to operate as "the First Free Theatre in the World," supported solely by voluntary contributions. The casts and crews of its productions were comprised mainly of young volunteer student actors; Davenport himself often played leading roles. This theatre, known popularly as the Free Theatre, usually offered ten productions a year in a constantly changing repertoire. It remained Butler Davenport's workplace (and also his home, for he occupied an apartment above it) for the rest of his life. Though it was occasionally forced into selling tickets, the Davenport Free Theatre continued into the 1940s. Thereafter it subsisted on income from leases by commercial productions.
Butler Davenport, who remained single all his life, died in New York City in 1958 at the age of 86.
