- Description
- 1 videocassette (VHS) (5 min.) : sd., col. SP; 1/2 in.
- Summary
- Channel 4 news Live at 5:00, aired Washington D.C. News segment begins with brief overview of the career of producer/director Joseph Papp and discussion on the current economic crisis on Broadway, which has seen ticket sales plummet, shows close after just a few nights and many theaters go dark. Includes an interview with Papp, whose play The nest of the wood grouse is currently running at the Kennedy Center in Washington D.C. Papp discusses what he perceives to be the causes of the slump, including the generally poor quality of shows coupled with high ticket prices, and outlines his plan to "save" Broadway by turning several Broadway theaters into nonprofit entities dedicated to staging dramatic, non-musical plays.
