You've read my mind, and it's very sad. Time Out now has only half a page for Off-Of Broadway. Even their Broadway listings are very selective, and they have little of the information they used to be so good for (length of play best MTA options, etc.). It would be one thing is they had those listings online, but even there it's not at all comprehensive, intuitive, or easy to use. Very, very unfortunate situation.

It is unfortunate and the implications of its loss are depressing. Without a trusted comprehensive source it means the loudest advertising or social media hype wins. It also means the further specialization of audience members. The big city sophistication of moving back and forth from one art form to another was celebrated in the listing format.

Quel mess.
