They lose nothing... well, except a subscriber.

It was not a Goodman production. <br /><br />The only reason this refund was offered was due to a backing fund provided by the Driehaus Foundation specifically for that purpose. The producing theatres could not lose money, as they were not offering their own cash back. The fund was only for the purpose of giving refunds. It did not fund the show, it only reduced the financial risk for the audience (and the producing theatres, who in theory would get a larger audience to try a risky work than they would without the guarantee).<br /><br />Whether or not the Goodman Theatre itself offers refunds for its own shows, that had nothing to do with this "money back guarantee."Patrickhttp://backstageat.backstagejobs.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12657288.post-51760797697238671832009-09-10T15:11:55.921-04:002009-09-10T15:11:55.921-04:00lol, yeah don't know if that will catch on suc...lol, yeah don't know if that will catch on successfully.
