[title]Whether you’re a tourist or a regular local playgoer, when you think of New York theater, the first question tends to be: What show to see? Certainly the play’s the thing, as a certain melancholy Dane once noted, but how do those comedies, dramas and musicals come to light? They’re produced by the city’s hundreds of theater companies, or they’re part of the lineup for various festivals and series. Some theater events aren’t even full productions, such as unstaged readings of lesser-known classics. One of our favorite “things” (such a vague but useful catchall) is a record company, Sh-K-Boom, that preserves original cast albums for posterity. So enjoy this miscellany of troupes and traditions that keep the scene buzzing with activity.
