Every Thursday evening, actors and staff of Broadway and Off-Broadway shows compete in the Broadway Show Bowling League. Games are played from midnight to 2 AM at Port Authority's Leisure Time Bowling Alley (West 41st St. at 8th Ave.) in New York. Playbill On-Line will post League standings weekly. Several teams have stayed together long after their shows have closed. The new season began Oct. 15.
