It means they don't have to be confined to a proscenium, but also makes it harder to do a quick add-on. Sometimes it also leads to funding issues and identity crises for theaters who give up a permanent home.
I don't know enough about New Haven, but is the current location really that inconvenient?"
It's several miles from downtown New Haven, literally located in a strip-mall complex next to an Ikea. The location always struck me as somewhat weird. It's really hard to get there without a car, so if the goal is to make their programming more accessible to people who live downtown, it is an inconvenient location.
"You travel alone because other people are only there to remind you how much that hook hurts that we all bit down on. Wait for that one day we can bite free and get back out there in space where we belong, sail back over water, over skies, into space, the hook finally out of our mouths and we wander back out there in space spawning to other planets never to return hurrah to earth and we'll look back and can't even see these lives here anymore. Only the taste of blood to remind us we ever existed. The earth is small. We're gone. We're dead. We're safe."
