On March 26, 1981, the city council adopted
legislation which designated the area, stretching
from 71st to 74th streets, as Strawberry Fields.
His widow, the artist and performer Yoko Ono,
later donated 1 million to the Central Park
Conservancy to re-landscape and to maintain the

THURSDAY NIGHT
AFTER TOURING, THAT NIGHT WE SAY A WONDERFULLY
FUNNY, ENTERTAINING PLAY AT THE CORT THEATER, A
BLOCK OFF BROADWAY.
"absurdly enjoyable, gleefully theatrical riff on
Alfred Hitchcocks 1935 film"
With a nod to the entire Hitchcock oeuvre, four
players take on all the characters involved in
this "whodunit, part espionage thriller and part
slapstick comedy," as the high-impact, low-tech
work is billed.
