From my understanding of the posting, some theater is looking to raise funds by changing the name of the theater to a name of a donor's choosing. The donor has to give the theater $225,000 ($2100/mo x 9 years), and in exchange, the theater will call itself "The Joe Schmo Theater" for 9 years. If you are the person that hooks the theater up with the donor, the theater will give you $8500 as a commission.

I doubt it's a Broadway theater, even if the theater's address is on Broadway -- a Broadway theater would want a lot more (I think American Airlines gave something like $8 million to re-name the Selwyn). I also don't think a Broadway theater would be looking to sell its naming rights on Craig's list.

if youre that interested you could just call and say something to the effect of "before i consider passing this information on to possibly interested parties, i wanted to clarify the location of the theatre and if it is a new building? would it be/is it tony eligible? might i have seen any productions there?"

Haha I highly doubt a major Broadway theatre is advertising themselves on Craigslist.
