Memorial day weekend is typically a bad weekend. Not surprised by the dips.

Thrilled that Spongebob continues an uphill climb!
Also thrilled for Mean Girls! Two of the best shows of the season, in my opinion.

Posted: 5/29/18 at 8:41pmSincere question: do subscription houses ever end runs early, or are they bound to keep them open for as long as any subscribers are still holding tickets? Looking at those Saint Joan numbers, I just feel like MTC must be bleeding money week to week.

Rarely if ever, the last one to close early was Woman on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown closing on January 2, 2011 instead of January 23, 2011. When a non-profit company mounts a production the capitalization cost is supposed to include the cost to run the production for the duration of the limited engagement. This capitalization normally does and should include any subscription tickets already sold prior to the season/production's mounting. Thus any traditional tickets sold would be considered not profit, but contribution to the bottom line. This is why when a subscription house extends a production any sales during that period are normally considered pure profit. This does not include transitioning the production to an opened run, as then a weekly operational cost should be taken into the accounting. Lincoln Center Theater Company is also often an outlier as several of their productions that are not mounted at the Vivian Beaumont include other producers. Woman on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown was also a nightmare of a production in both the drama surrounding it and the production itself. Even During Christmas week, it couldn't even get to 50% capacity with a cast that included Patti Lupone, Laura Benanti in their first musical after Gypsy, Brian Mitchell Stokes, Danny Burstein, and Sherie Rene Scott, which was when they decided to close the show early. Saint Joan may not be making money, but it definitively isn't loosing money either. If anything it means that Condola Rashad will not have a production built around her again anytime soon.

I've been impatiently waiting for new Spongebob dates on TDF. I noticed that that show and many others have dropped off. Any guess as to when we can see them come back?
