The article said the exhibit would be up through the end of June, but the films had specific dates listed. Did you take that to mean that if you want to see the "Finding Billy" video, you would have to be there on May 9 ? Or do they have the videos showing periodically through June ?

Inferring that the Finding Billy video is the PBS special from a couple years ago: http://www.playbill.com/news/article/12 ... ebut-Dec-1

So the critical question is: Did anyone record that telecast and might have means of sharing it? Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?

Sweet! Many thanks for the handy links. Except for the fact that it's 11:40PM at present and it will be well after midnight before I'll be able to sleep...

You could wait until tomorrow to watch them.
