Hmm. They’re doin a capitalism again. No surprise there.
It’s for 5 performances on the calendar, tickets are $30. It’s a 49 person theater — and some of those seats are sure to be friends and family comps. Venue costs between $200-$250 per performance.
It would be a miracle if they got $6k from tickets after venue fees. And that’s not counting time, cost for props, transportation, etc.
This is small time artsy theater. Suggesting that it’s a cash grab is a bit insulting to those involved.
I was more commenting on the commoditization of everything, more than shitting on theatre in general.
The guy is literally sitting in a jail cell, potentially innocent, and now there’s additional narratives that are forcefully going to be credited toward him while he’s trying to get a fair trial. That objectively sucks for him.
everyone knows you do off broadway theatre for the money.
There’s a lot of shitty things about capitalism besides shitty wealth distribution.
yeah but off broadway/local theatre is probably the least capitalistic thing
Because the theater of all mediums is known to be entirely run by greed from top to bottom? No passion for the arts. You rather they don’t get paid for their labor? What’s your angle here?
