It's a small town, we all have the same lists, but we have an audience base with a very rigid definition of what constitutes theater. Mostly, they think it should be Turner Classic Movies, only live. With the cost of living Boston is inhospitable to young artists and companies. The reason there's no equivalent to Pig Iron in Boston is that there's no appetite for it and no good history of it. If the festival at all succeeds, it would be in increasing that appetite.Lisa T.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09685429690716415179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12657288.post-76841267619270235432010-04-11T15:46:25.746-04:002010-04-11T15:46:25.746-04:00I think a Classical theatre (not the deadly kind, ...I think a Classical theatre (not the deadly kind, though) working out of the MET might be very interesting.Mattnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12657288.post-47010254340776603342010-04-10T14:32:16.622-04:002010-04-10T14:32:16.622-04:00Whitney included some performances and panels iwth...Whitney included some performances and panels iwth performance artist during American Century (or whatever that exhibit is called some years back: Tim Miller, etc.)<br />Do you count Marina Abramovic, currently sitting at MOMA?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
