David and Katherine celebrate the 100th anniversary of The Al Hirschfeld Theatre, formerly the Martin Beck Theatre. Plus, David interviews artist Justin “Squigs” Robertson about his special project celebrating the theatre’s centennial.
Rededicated to Al Hirschfeld on what would have been his 100th birthday in 2003, this is the only Broadway Theatre to ever be named after an artist.
