Ohio.com: "They're urban pioneers who live for the theater, and they're gaining the kind of momentum that Hillary or Barack would love.
At first, word of the free beer and wine given out at performances might have enticed audiences to check out the unprepossessing (OK, makeshift) theater upstairs in the Summit Artspace building in downtown Akron. But people keep coming back for more of the raw, unpredictable drama that co-founders Sean Derry and Sean McConaha began producing at Akron's Bang and the Clatter Theatre Company in October 2005."

Its great to hear about new and interesting theatre's like this. It seems like this could have a great potential, assuming they take care of all the details, parking, etc. I hope for the best.
That's pretty exciting. Growing theatre bases are hard to muster. The small local theatres around me generally stay that way.. Tiny little holes in the ground. Granted, they can be really nice holes in the ground, but they never really expand. They only move when the rent gets too expensive.
Yay for new theatre companies. I must admit though, it doesn't seem like they're doing too much out of the ordinary beyond the company name and the types of shows they're doing. It doesn't really look like any kind of innovative or indie theatre. It looks like a new theatre company trying to gain a 'national presence' like the article said. So good for them, but I think this has been done before...
