*sigh* I can't think of an art form more ripe for disruption than theater. We stuck our heads in the sand a hundred years ago when film disrupted the hell out of the storytelling market, and we haven't made a move since then. But I don't expect anyone to do it who is making a living off of the status quo, as these guys are. They don't want anything to change, because they just figured out how to make it work for them.
