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.
everyone knows you do off broadway theatre for the money.
There's a lot of shitty things about capitalism besides shitty wealth distribution.
yeah but off broadway/local theatre is probably the least capitalistic thing
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?
Marvel Avengers starring Luigi Mangione
Super Mario Bros. Movie 2
Mario (Voiced by Chris Pratt): "N-n-n-noooo, not-ah-that-ah Luigi!!! Ah-mama-miaaa!!!"
theater audience laughs mildly
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.
Touch grass.
Too busy touching ass.
Be as mad as you want I guess, communists do want to abolish money, you can probably find cowbee or someone similar here saying exactly that if you look around hard enough.
How to tell people you know nothing without actually saying it
So confident, so incorrect.
Lmao
Oh look, someone is doing a blind comment without reading the article again. No surprise there.
This is a 40 seat black box theater that costs $250 a night to run a show. Chill out.
Sure is convenient that he's busy with that trial so we don't have to ask him for the right to use his likenes, and we don't need to consult him or the people when we tell his story in our words before history has a chance to fully realize the repercussions of such a historical event.
