This is a really nice idea to give space for cultural institutions’ programs in Brooklyn.
Unfortunately, regarding the King Lear production it’s been sold out for ages! So it doesn’t do any good to publicize it, really. BAM is pretty good (and well funded) in marketing their theatre productions. I’d think smaller arts (and other nonprofit) organizations deserve to get the publicity here. They need all the marketing help they can get.
