As an advocate of saving older theaters, I've been concerned about the growing number of competitors over the years--from television to VCRs to DVDs to the Internet to tablets and smartphones. At times, it has seemed to me that there are so many entertainment outlets of convenience that one is hard-pressed to sell people (and young people in particular) on the value of live performances and the venues built for them.
But, perhaps I'm wrong. The recent spate of tanking blockbusters has stars looking at live theater as an alternative way of staying in front of the public. Take a look. Let's hope there really is something to this.
