We noticed this posted outside Theatre 80, 80 St. Mark's Place between First Avenue and Second Avenue, the other day.
Theatre 80 proprietor Lorcan Otway is understandably plenty upset that someone took this poster for a play directed by his father from the lobby.
He wrote about it on Facebook:
TO WHOEVER STOLE THIS POSTER FROM THEATRE 80 You have taken something with no economic value, but caused immeasurable pain to members of the Otway family. There is no other copy of this poster. You have taken a token of memories few other people share...
And so moving forward...
We have had to remove from the lobby valuable historic pieces, which we shared with the public, and which have been enjoyed by people from around the world.
There is a reward for the return of the poster.

People here love to appropriate artworks. Someone stole the Andy Warhol mosaic from the side of The Standard hotel also.
Absolutely disgusting.
Wow. Hope whoever stole it will return it! That is rotten.
Said it before & will say it again- people who steal SUCK.
To the thief: Just put it unfolded in a flat envelope with some cardboard and mail it to them. No one has to know it was you who took it. Do the right thing now or suck forever.
Well as someone in the art market
It just got valuble.
