For the week’s deep dive, Patrick is telling us the story of Ellen Stewart, who created the downtown Off-Off-Broadway theater La MaMa. It was at La MaMa that Torch Song Trilogy, the play starring Estelle Getty which led to her landing the role of Sophia on The Golden Girls, was created, and the woman behind the theater's creation was a trailblazer in the downtown arts scene.
