In addition to working on LCT's education department and magazine (the Lincoln Center Theater Review), Mr. Bishop is proudest of the building of the lovely Claire Tow Theater on top of the Beaumont at Lincoln Center, and the LCT3 program there whose mission is to produce the work of young writers, directors and designers.
