OG 10 : VR : 135 : Hispanic theater company

Intar, the oldest Hispanic theater company in New
York, has moved away from the Spanish classics and
now it draws on the works both of contemporary
Hispanic authors who live abroad and of those in the
United States.

The above is a run-on sentence :
it intrudes between the halves of the
compound verb has moved... and [now] draws to introduce
a new grammatical subject, thereby creating a run-on
sentence:
the inclusion of it requires a comma after classics to set off
the new independent clause.
===>
