- The most commented on post of the month: My Producer PROspective on Godspell.
- The comment of the month is from Jared and was in response to They May Not Come to the Theatre, but We Sure Do Like To Write About Them:
As for the issue of getting more young people into the theatre, I know you producers don’t like to here this, but part of the answer is to lower ticket prices. I’m 27, and I absolutely love theatre. I make it a priority in my life to go see shows, but it is expensive and I never have as much money as I have time and interest. The simple fact of the matter is that middle-aged and older theatre-goers have more disposable income, as they generally have higher paying jobs and are better at managing money. They can afford a $100 theatre ticket; most of my friends can’t.
