One of our faculty wants us to purchase an American Playhouse episode 
-True West. All we have found available are used VHS tapes. I don't 
mind purchasing one of the VHS tapes in this case since the production 
does not seem to be available on DVD, but I would like to contact the 
producer(s) to ask about permission to covert to DVD.  WorldCat lists 
the corporate authors as Academy Home Entertainment and  Program 
Development Company, Theatrical Division. John H. Williams and Howard 
K. Grossman are listed as producers. I'm not finding contact 
information on any of them. Does anyone know whether this is a dead 
end search or have contact information for either the companies, Mr. 
Williams or Mr. Grossman?

Thanks,
Gail

Gail,

You might be able to get contact information from PBS. I see they had a title 
released on the PBS label in 2009.

Good Luck!
