...itself as an outlet for new and experimental plays in repertory. Later this month, they have an item called Victor, or The Children Take Over, by French Playwright Roger Vitrac. The plot calls for a woman to make flatus with noisy regularity, which is accomplished with a backstage tuba...

They have been known to stop musicians on the street to plead for autographs and crowd the stage door after concerts to shake the hands of fiddlers. And in store windows all over town, they mount pictures of their hero, the glowering...
