    I would expect this from the people we are voting against, but not from the people who should be on our side.

    That got me thinking, what demographic actually goes to live theatre events these days? I doubt there are a lot of young people, though.

      Why? I used to go much more often as a student (with student prices) than now…

        I just can’t imagine it. Also I don’t remember knowing a single person younger than my parents that have ever mentioned going to live theatre.

          Theater is niche, but I wouldn’t say is for old people. Again in general students pay less and even get free tickets at universities often. At least when I was one. Paying a full ticket as a grown up is much harder 😅

      Not sure what your point is but when I was in high school, I saw a lot of theater productions with my class. Not local or amateur productions but professional ones on national tours. And also a lot of contemporary an thought provoking plays.
