NTUSA wins LMCC President’s Award
Last night The National Theater of the United States of America was honored by the The Lower Manhattan Cultural Council as recipients of The President’s Award.
“The President’s Award goes to artists who participated in or benefited from one of our programs and who have had considerable career achievement in the previous two years.”
It was excellent to be in the company of: Martin Scorsese, Steve Buscemi, Stanley Tucci, Aidan Quinn, and all the supporters of the LMCC to receive this honor. Thanks to everyone at the LMCC for your continued support.

the Apollo Theater re-opened seventy-six years ago today. It was a burlesque theater that catered to a white crowd prior to the reformation. Sydney S. Cohen and Morris Sussman caught on to the African American community in the 20’s and 30’s and on January 26, 1934 became one of the first venues that offered entertainment to the black community.

This would be an awesome lead-in to Ean’s Map Lecture. Must find him. Watch!
Backstage live
Alice and Ruth and I went to see CHAUTAUQUA! at the Public tonight. I highly recommend that you do this too; tickets are still available for tomorrow’s and Sunday’s performances, and they’re $15. For this money you will receive: songs, historical reenactments, puppets, deranged folkdances, lectures about capitalism and art (they’re brief, and amusing-slide-accompanied), as well as (SPOILERS ALERT) much more well-lit full frontal male nudity than HAIR! and just as much rousing mass performance of “Flesh Failures/Let The Sunshine In.”
In short pretty much everything you could ask of a theatrical experience.
Hey! Our pleasure, come back any time.
P.S. “In short pretty much everything you could ask of a theatrical experience.”
