[title]For sheer diversity of performance spaces, it’s hard to beat New York theater. At the top of the food chain, architecturally speaking, you’ve got the 40 Broadway houses, which get the most traffic and attention. But even within that segment, there’s a huge difference between turn-of-the-century jewel boxes and the more impersonal, corporate barns built in the 1970s. Then you have scores of Off Broadway venues and a couple hundred Off-Off spaces. Our favorite spots are not just where you can see, but where you can be seen. At theaters such as the Pershing Square Signature Center, you can celebrate the writer, while at La MaMa you can see the next generation of avant-garde artists. The great vibe at many of these locations reminds us that theater is live and present.
