Hmm. They're doin a capitalism again. No surprise there.
This is a 40 seat black box theater that costs $250 a night to run a show. Chill out.
Sure is convenient that he's busy with that trial so we don't have to ask him for the right to use his likenes, and we don't need to consult him or the people when we tell his story in our words before history has a chance to fully realize the repercussions of such a historical event. "BuT iM tAkInG a LoSs On ThE cOsT, sO iT cAnT bE GrReEdY.!"
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.
Oh look, someone is doing a blind comment without reading the article again. No surprise there.
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?
Marvel Avengers starring Luigi Mangione
You rather they don’t get paid for their labor?
Well, since they seem like they're one of those "blame capitalism as a gut reaction anytime anything at all happens" kind of people, they're likely communist, so basically yes, they think nobody should be paid for their labor and everything should be free all the time.
Looks like it's Taylor Street Theatre, a 49-seat venue.
Its an event that only happened like 2 months ago. People sat down, wrote an entire musical show, wrote all new songs, a story, the whole show. Then they held auditions, cast it, rehearsed it, got it ready for debut night. Then found a theater, rented it for the duration of its run, and apperently forgot to advertise it, becsuse the first time I even heard of it is AFTER the entire run of shows are all sold out.
And you're worried that the show is starting small???
And you're worried that the show is starting small???
I didn't say I was worried; the headline left a lot of wiggle room for interpretation, I was adding some detail.
Small correction, it's an event that happened 5 months ago. The United healthcare CEO died December 4.
According to the article it appears to be a reskinned Chicago. Not sure how much original story is really going to be in it
?? i totally missed this
Right? Me too! WTF!
This is truly uplifting!
