  • The Living Theatre, co-founded in 1947 by Julian Beck and his wife, Judith Malina, is America’s oldest experimental theater company.
  • "Paradise Now" (1965?) is a semi-improvisational play with audience participation.
  • In one scene, while reciting a list of social taboos, the actors disrobed, which led to police arrests in Europe and the U.S.
  • The Rolling Stones’ Keith Richards, in his autobiography, recalls the troupe’s "hardcore" commitment to the experimental theater, and their "elite" avant-garde glamor, as part of the "Andy Warhol and Gerard Malanga connection."
