RE: RAT, The dramaturgy of...

[Greg Romero <gregoryromero@yahoo.com>]

To Allison,

first of all, to say that theatre is "about
audiences" excludes a lot of important, necessary
variables about theatre.  It also excludes a lot
of people-- namely the ones who are creating it. 
A theatre "about audiences" seems short-sighted
and is not a theatre I would feel compelled to
visit.

Secondly, we don't charge anyone to see our work.
 rm 120 theatre believes in free theatre.

Thirdly, performing in the woods is a great
idea!!!

Lastly, why would you think our theatre is
boring?

my best,
