Public theater program announcement

In late July, we had the opportunity to see an outdoor performance of "Hair!" at the Delacorte Theater in Central Park, New York.

I was hoping that I might be able to take some photographs of the theater itself, once we had been seated under the open sky, but before the performance began ... but such photographs were strictly forbidden, and blue-shirted staff members (two of whom you'll see in this album) were all over the place, watching for transgressions.

So these are just a few random photographs of the crowd of people waiting outside the theater, waiting for the doors to open so they could be seated...

Note: this photo was published in an Aug 26, 2008 blog article entitled "Free public theater tickets in Central Park to see "Hair." The how to get them and why I'm feeling miffed."
