VIDEOS: David Hirson, Lynn Nottage and Lynn Ahrens Show Their Support For The Drama Book Shop

As reported by BroadwayWorld, The Tony Award-winning Drama Book Shop, which will be celebrating its 100th birthday in 2017, has suffered a setback recently, after a water pipe burst caused extensive damage to the shop and half of its inventory.

Many prominent names in the theatre community have voiced their support for this beloved New York institution, including an internet campaign for sales generated by HAMILTON's Lin-Manuel Miranda.

As they're been for 99 years, theatre luminaries still frequent the Drama Book Shop every day. Many of them have been happy to take a few moments to express their love for the Drama Book Shop and to come support them in their time of need.

Playwright David Hirson, author of the fascinating and ambitious Broadway comedies LA BETE and WRONG MOUNTAIN calls The Drama Book Shop "an oasis in New York."

Lynn Nottage, author of INTIMATE APPARREL and the Pulitzer-winning RUINED says the Drama Book Shop has been a part of the fabric of her theatre-making from the very beginning.

Last represented on Broadway as the lyricist of ROCKY, Lynn Ahrens and her composer partner Stephen Flahery, have created great musical theatre classics like RAGTIME and ONCE ON THIS ISLAND. She calls The Drama Book Shop "the greatest store in town."
