Rice. Around the year 1829, Tom Comer served as musical director. In 1841 leading British actors John and Charlotte Vandenhoff appeared at the Tremont Theatre in a benefit for John Vandenhoff. Charlotte played Juliette and her father played Mercutio and on the same night he took the title role in Coriolanus.On December 28, 1843, the Free Church Baptists bought the theater and renamed it the Tremont Temple. The building burned in 1852, and bore no relationship to the later theater of the same name.
