The newly decorated theatres produced things like car parks and restaurants, so you could have a good night out, quite cheaply without all that bother of having to go somewhere else.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Surely, you go to the theater because you want to have a great evening in the theater.
I live in Los Angeles where there is not that much in the way of theatre, so the La Jolla Playhouse is pretty much the only place that is on my radar, and when they have something going on, and I am available, I will certainly go in.
Sure, theater is tough because you're not home at night a lot and you work on weekends - every job has its downside. But to do something that you love doing for two hours a night, that's a pretty sweet gig.
As theater artists, it's a great luxury to have time.
The movie theater is never going away. If that was a case why are there still restaurants? People still have kitchens in their home!
When you do a film, you get picked up in a car, lunch is free. Theatre is really hard, and you get absolutely no money.
I had spent time in New York, where I loved the idea that theater could be done up in tiny little rooms rather than for lots of money on a big stage, and be tied to ordinary life.
Trust me, there's not one night a week I'm not in a theater somewhere. I adore theater, and I go out with friends, so I do have some nights off.
I'd like more kids to go and see theatre because it really is amazing.
Don't forget the prices are so high in theater; it isn't really where a young person can go on a date and buy two tickets and take someone out anymore.
