Getting rid of 300+ Playbills#1
Posted: 1/12/19 at 1:22am
I'm purging a lot of my possessions and have a collection of Playbills. 300+ from Broadway and off-Broadway productions ranging from 2010-2019. All mostly OBCs. There might be one or two Opening Night ones. Anyone interested in acquiring it? I'm looking to get rid of ALL of them at once. You'd have to pick them up from a Manhattan location. Some are in binders, some in small boxes. Everything is placed into one large (and heavy!) printer box. Commutable via subway if you use a dolly, otherwise a car is better.
"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."

Now if they were from the 1930's and 1940's maybe, but 2000's?  No thanks.

Congratulations to the new owner! An impressive collection no doubt, now in the hands of someone who will surely cherish them for many, many years to come. :)

The taker fell through. They are FREE if anyone can pick them up. Any other suggestions on how to donate? Otherwise I'm ready to put in the recycling bin, which would be a shame!!

I saw a comment on twitter today in response to a post from Drama Book Shop. I think one of the libraries specializes in performing arts so they might be interested. However, you may need to drop them off.

Perhaps you could offer a reward for someone to take them?
