Whatever happened to the WPA Theatre in Chelsea? It was the theatre where Songs For A New World, Weird Romance, and New York Rock (Yoko Ono's musical) debuted. IOBDB shows that a show hasn't been mounted there since 1998--was it torn down, converted into something else, etc? Curious.
"You travel alone because other people are only there to remind you how much that hook hurts that we all bit down on. Wait for that one day we can bite free and get back out there in space where we belong, sail back over water, over skies, into space, the hook finally out of our mouths and we wander back out there in space spawning to other planets never to return hurrah to earth and we'll look back and can't even see these lives here anymore. Only the taste of blood to remind us we ever existed. The earth is small. We're gone. We're dead. We're safe."
-John Guare, Landscape of the Body
