Does anyone know why Wednesday matinees started? I know, I just want to see if anyone else does. Go postal! I mean, please post your thoughts.

I really have no idea why I thought a difference in ticket prices would affect a performance. It seems logical that it wouldn't have an affect. I just wanted to see if people thought that matinees and evening performances seemed different to them.

I frequently attend Wed. matinees just so I can fit in more shows, but I've never had a problem at them.

This is Threatre 101. Come on folks, get with the program. And no, it wasn't for senior citizen groups to get to see a show.

My guess is because it's mid-week, and it's usually a busy time?
(just a guess here...)

You know I didn't mean it like that dude. Aren't gay people supposed to be perpetually happy?

I am dying, I feel jipped. I took intro to theatre and I didn't learn this. I have been searching online and I can't find it! I am going nuts I want to know. You are torturing me, I can't handle having theatre trivia I don't know just out of reach. FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THINGS SACRED TELL US!

Maybe the "older" people on this board will know the answer. I mean that with all respect.

I think Phantom2 has no idea.....he just wants to drag this for as long as possible....with all due respect, this isn't even the topic of this post!!!
So just spit it out already and let this post pass and have its moment in time!!

[Phantom2]
