As I said, I subscribe B st theatre and actually at one point, I subscribed all three series: main stage, B3, and Family series. I love to see different shows they introduce to us; however, given the fact it's a theatre "company," they cast their members in a show most of the time, which is great for these local actors, for the audience, not so much. Well at least for my enjoyment. Because I've seen B St so many years and am familiar with those actors' work, I can predict how they perform before even seeing the actual show. Rarely I was surprised to see a performance by certain actors. I'm not saying they should not cast the same company actors over and over again. But I want the director to challenge the actors, and the actors should push their own envelop. Sometimes I feel that they are just content within their comfort zone. I also wish they will perform a play that casts more than six actors. They tend to choose two person plays often even for the main stage. It's fine to see an intimate play but if that's all we are offered, well I would like to see more diversities. I'm sure things will change once they build and move to the new theatre complex.
