flight to New York LaGuardia. You will be met upon arrival and
provided transportation to the charming Algonquin Hotel on West
44th Street in mid-town Manhattan. Here, you will be steeped in
the history of the American theater, New York City and the writers
of the Algonquin Round Table. There’s nothing in New York
City like the Algonquin lobby for getting together and making
new friends after theater.
At 6:30 PM our first
evening in New York will feature a cocktail reception and dinner
in the Slocum Room at the HARVARD CLUB with your host, radio personality
and musical historian, George Harter.

Street, Battery Park and much more. We will make several stops
during our trip for a closer look at key points in Manhattan,
including the site of the World Trade Center.
Tonight
we will gather for a short pre-show talk from George about CURTAINS,
the musical comedy wrapped in a murder mystery. This is a good
old-fashioned show and contains the last score written by Kander
& Ebb. The Al Hirschfeld Theatre is an easy walk from the
hotel.
