| I don't doubt your figures, but let me ask you this: If the weekday curtain time is considered pretty much a non-issue for local theatergoers who have to get up for work, what is the main reason behind the fact that so many (if not most) shows now have 7pm curtain on weeknights -- often except for Wednesdays, when they stick with the 8pm start to give the company more time between shows for dinner or whatever? Is it to get the cast and company members home earlier? To allow theatergoers, wherever they are from, more time to go out to a restaurant, bar, or wherever after the show? A combination of those things? |
