The article says the theater is "language forward". In the heart of Silicon Valley is that speaking in binary? Maybe they should have tried non-binary.

If they can't find an audience in one of the most liberal, wealthy cities in the country, there's something wrong with their product.

Sweeping generalization when the Bay Area has its own unique post-pandemic challenges that have affected many industries, including well-known arts institutions..

Eureka Day is about to hit the subscription houses all across the country.  They commissioned and premiered the play, they should be getting a nice, extended payday soon....it's sad they couldn't hold out for that...
