Exciting shows brighten more than the stage

Pittsburgh Tribune-Review: "It doesn't take an economic genius or a dramaturgical Nostradamus to predict tough times ahead for theater providers and ticket buyers.
With the world, national and local economy in a downward spiral, belts are being notched tighter on a daily basis.
At first glance, this may seem like a minor inconvenience when people are losing jobs, homes and businesses.
But, the downward spiral has a trickle-down impact on the future of national touring productions."

When the economic crisis began, I thought that our industry was going to almost immediately, or very soon after, feel the pressure. Quite to my disbelief, it hasn't been as drastic as I initially imagined. I think that the theater is an escape for the public, so hopefully ticket sales will go up, and we will all still have jobs. Woot.
