Technically a Broadway theatre has a minimum of 500 seats, which makes the two theatres at the SLC just perfect. For horrible viewing go next door.
Now, *that* could be an interesting symbol: the City jettisoning the StLC as "gravy", coldly, just like that--practically Thatcherian in its efficiency...
The war on creativity takes another step..
I know -- it's like they're teachers, or university professors, or MPs, or city councillors!It's the union's obscene demand for pay for no work for 7 to 12 weeks a year that's making stage productions unaffordable for many theatre companies in this city. Do you get 2 to 3 months of paid vacation a year where you work?
Passed by the other day, and by looking around you cant help but imagine that location will be for a future hi-rise.

Sounds like the war on creativity is being waged by the union, not the city. It's the union's obscene demand for pay for no work for 7 to 12 weeks a year that's making stage productions unaffordable for many theatre companies in this city. Do you get 2 to 3 months of paid vacation a year where you work?

Teachers plan and develop course material, and train for the following school year during their summer break; university professors conduct research and attend conferences (for many, their so-called "off" time is busier than their "on" time); and politicians meet with their constituents (for what it's worth). In other words, for much of their vacation, teachers, professors, and politicians actually work.
