Politics and Poker
And people wonder why Off-Broadway is a dying breed.
Is this what it takes? Focus groups? For some reason, I was led to believe that corporations were anti-art, but I haven't the faintest idea why.
Jesus. I hate to be a bitch about these things, but I feel this need to complain. And, I don't know why. If you love something so much, are you supposed to find some reason to complain about it in order to feel fully complete? I mean, I went to some Off-Broadway play once, and I was seated in front of these two elderly theatre queens who would not. Stop. Bitching. And this was even before the play started!
No more Lamb's. No more Playhouse 91. No more Cocteau Rep. Nothing. If there is going to be some great new avant-garde play now, it will probably star somebody from "The O.C." or some celebrity's kid. Because some focus group mandated it. People, this is who determines what will pass go for the New York City theatre scene:
Seriously?!?
