Hmm. They're doin a capitalism again. No surprise there.

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.
