But he is also the son of a librarian, who still sometimes heads to the reading room when he needs to do homework. Now, Fierstein has donated $2.5 million to create a new ‘theater lab’ at the library’s Lincoln Center campus, a dedicated educational space where students and the general public will be able to attend programs drawing on its vast holdings of photographs, scripts, recordings, set models, costumes, and other materials.”
