Posted: 3/20/05 at 8:26pmHow does everyone know when they will be showing a Broadway show on PBS? I always want to watch them but never catch them. I can't go through the tv guide for every day. Is there any way we could post them on here?

Posted: 3/20/05 at 8:31pmWell they usually show about 1 per year (or less) so when they do it's a big deal here.

Posted: 3/20/05 at 8:32pmTry calling your local PBS station. Sometimes they have the schedules a month or so in advance.

As Matt said, it's fairly rare for PBS to show Broadway these days -- usually no more than once or twice a year and TRUST ME, if you read this board, you'll know exactly what the air dates will be.
Quite a difference from when I was a kid in the 80s and American Playhouse would film and show four or five plays a year (sometimes more).
I believe the next show scheduled is the all-star concert of Sondheim's PASSION, which will be airing on PBS March 31st.

Posted: 3/20/05 at 8:44pmIf you contribute to your local station, they generally send out a program guide each month. Since it's only one station, it's much easier to read, and generally specials like the recent one are featured in articles.
