Columbia’s theater devotees—and there are many—are lucky. The school year is packed with performances, from the constant parade of black-box shows to the massive spectacle of the Varsity Show each spring. Theater is a vital part of campus culture, and, for many, a lifestyle choice. For the price of a subway swipe and ten minutes on the 1 train students have access to the New York Public Library for the Performing Arts at Lincoln Center—a resource that would make even the most jaded theater lover salivate.
