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).
