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.

Oh look, someone is doing a blind comment without reading the article again. No surprise there.

Because the theater of all mediums is known to be entirely run by greed from top to bottom? No passion for the arts. You rather they don’t get paid for their labor? What’s your angle here?

Well, since they seem like they’re one of those “blame capitalism as a gut reaction anytime anything at all happens” kind of people, they’re likely communist, so basically yes, they think nobody should be paid for their labor and everything should be free all the time.

But worshipping profits made from denying people life-saving care is fine.

The ambiguity of that abbreviation means you could well be arguing for Mangione and his methods, not against him.

And if you meant Universal rather than United, most of the folks in countries with it don’t want to lose it. Better to worship that than profits, don’t you think?

I sure hope you’re right, but I’ve heard multiple otherwise-relatively-sane people in real life express support for him

Looks like it’s Taylor Street Theatre, a 49-seat venue.

Its an event that only happened like 2 months ago. People sat down, wrote an entire musical show, wrote all new songs, a story, the whole show. Then they held auditions, cast it, rehearsed it, got it ready for debut night. Then found a theater, rented it for the duration of its run, and apperently forgot to advertise it, becsuse the first time I even heard of it is AFTER the entire run of shows are all sold out.

And you’re worried that the show is starting small???

I didn’t say I was worried; the headline left a lot of wiggle room for interpretation, I was adding some detail.

Small correction, it’s an event that happened 5 months ago. The United healthcare CEO died December 4.
