In this episode of 92NY Talks, we commemorate The 92nd Street Y's
150th anniversary with a special archival recording from the
inaugural season of our long-running Lyrics & Lyricists series in
1971 featuring the now legendary Stephen Sondheim who also shares
our March 22nd birthday. This was Sondheim's first public talk and
it's an illuminating one, telling stories and sharing his thoughts
on lyrics and the craft of theatrical songwriting.
The program was recorded on May 2, 1971 in front of a live audience
at The 92nd Street Y, New York.
