ABSTRACT
Since the closing of The Studio Theatre in 1944, the Off-Broadway theatres have put up a valiant struggle to convince the unions to allow OffBroadway to survive; that is, to allow experimental theatre, art theatre, and political theatre to survive by creating contracts that make small, noninstitutional theatres fiscally possible. Progress has been made, but there is still much to do. Piscator’s Studio Theatre showed us the way.
