Metrograph, an independent cinema on Ludlow, is delving into the history of skyscrapers with a theater run of Tall: The American Skyscraper and Louis Sullivan.
The building on 821 6th Avenue doesn't look like much, but it was once a jazz loft, where music legends like Thelonious Monk and Hall Overton once played.
If you're expecting to walk into a traditional theater, complete with buttered popcorn and movie previews, you'll soon learn that Metrograph is anything, but.
