Innovative Theater Foundation Interviews Ozzie Rodriguez

Ozzie Rodriguez, Director of The Archives at La MaMa, was interviewed by the Innovative Theater Foundation about his work with The Archives and how it all began.

"We had always been at the frontier of something; legally, illegally or by accident. Ellen was always at the forefront. We weren’t supposed to have an archive. No one had an archive.
