GREAT PERFORMANCES

Over the next two years, Broadway Theatre Archive plans to release a total of 300 digitally restored adaptations of plays from PBS’ ‘Great Performances,’ ‘Theatre in America’ and ‘Hollywood Television Theatre,’ and such commercial network series as ‘Hallmark Hall of Fame’ and ‘Du Pont Show of the Month.’ “I have always been surprised that Broadway, in particular, has never successfully made the leap to television. The only way it did was through staging original productions for television. I was curious what that body of work was.” – Chicago Sun-Times 07/14/00
