Substantial article on a diverse theater history, on plenty of good sources, offline sources accepted AGF, no copyvio obvious. Of the Hooks, I like ALT2 best, but would couple it with the image showing Rent. Less interested in carpenter and church ;) - This image is licensed but not too exciting. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:02, 20 September 2022 (UTC)
