Lost City reports that NYU is backing off its controversial plan to demolish and rebuild the Provincetown Playhouse on MacDougal Street in the Village, with an official announcement expected later today: Details are sketchy, but the idea is the university—known for its cold-blooded passion for swinging wrecking balls at pieces of New York history—will keep the theatre building in place and build a new structure around it, rather than destroy the entire address in favor of a new edifice.
