At the Lincoln Center Performing Arts Library you can watch almost any theatrical production performed in New York City since 1970. Due to union laws, you can only watch a production once and must stay in the libraryâs viewing cubicles. Recently, I watched John C. Riley and Phillip Seymour Hoffman in Sam Shepardâs True West. If you love theater, do yourself a favor and spend an afternoon watching an old production. I love theater and want new plays. I am imagining a burgeoning playwright creeping into the library to watch Meryl Streep in âMouther Courage and Her Childrenâ and going on to write their own Mother Courage (and casting me).
What I love about nyc is the infinite amount of screenings there are for all types of movies â I think of it as an event more than anything! Feels way more fulfilling than just catching a film that just came out at an amc or whatever. The theaters r so much more intimate! And then youâll watch happy together 1997 and the colors will be so beautiful n bright and youâll cry and feel the same way someone did after seeing it 20+ years ago!
