The York Theatre has had double-whammy bad luck: displacement from their theatre due to a flood and then the pandemic. And they persevere, cheerfully, professionally and enthusiastically.
I would finance a new space, built according to their specifications, and fund an endowment so they would be financially secure in future.
They just concluded an Irving Berlin musical that was the booster shot we all needed. They bring new musicals to life, such as Cagney and Desperate Measures, and revive old musicals that folks like us would never see otherwise.
I'd also buy out the theatre for Adam Guettel's next musical, invite all my friends and their friends. Reopen Rainbow and Stars for the after party with Jack Jones as the headliner. |
