The Ignored Part of the US

Theatre Ideas: "While there is nothing particularly surprising about this lack of balance -- we've all known that theatre has long been seen as an urban art form -- I think what is surprising is how much of the US is still made up of small towns, most of whom are not being served by professional theatre at all. Of those that are under 100K that have professional theatres in them, many of them tend to be Shakespeare festivals or the county is a bedroom community for a larger city."

I think that the conventional wisdom that theatre requires an urban setting may not be as ironsclad as we'd like to think.
