So I'm sitting here at The Old Globe's main stage during intermission for "Dividing the Estate" (which has been pretty good so far) and I've been struck by the following observance:
Young adults and professionals do not come out to theatre nearly enough, and it actually makes me kinda sad, in a way.
I've kinda noticed this before, that I'm often surrounded by senior citizens and a sea of gray hair whenever I come out to see a play or musical at the Old Globe or La Jolla Playhouse. And as I wrote yesterday, these companies offer a great deal to young adults and twentysomethings to come out and enjoy the arts. But no one comes... The houses see good sized audiences regardless, but I can't help but feel that my generation, whatever you wanna call us, should start taking some time away from the bars and the clubs and movie theatres with its lame blockbusters and seemingly endless remakes and 3D re-releases and start supporting live theatre. Expand your horizons and experiences a bit, people.
Anyways. Slight vent over. Show is about to resume!
