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.

In this episode, learn about the many exciting productions played at the theatre, hear about the star-studded rededication, and join us in celebrating the many performers and creatives whose work appeared on the theatre's stage.

Thank you Squigs for joining us in this special celebration. Learn more about his work at www.squigsonline.com
