Town Hall: How Off-Off Broadway Can Be Saved

New York Theater: Hundreds of people attended a virtual town hall Thursday afternoon with city and state public officials to talk about how to save Off-Off Broadway. That was not the explicit topic. Hosts League of Independent Theater and Indiespace billed it as a “Small Venue Rent Forgiveness Town Hall,” with LIT organizer Guy Yedwab speaking in front of a banner that read “#CancelRent,” and some in-depth discussion of current state bills that would “forgive” commercial tenants (such as theaters) from paying their rent during the crisis.
