I apparently cry when I try to give wedding vows and such things.
Was Batman involved?
You'll fight, and you'll shag, and you'll hate each other till it makes you quiver, but you'll never be friends.

Spike's Bitches 45: That sure as hell wasn't in the brochure.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

It is pretty much like The Sorrow and the Pity.
Except without subtitles.

Also, physically, I just hurt. Three of us completed what would ordinarily have been a four or five person, twenty-hour strike, in ten hours.

Hmmm, so maybe the phantom limb pain is more of a projection. Like you wish you weren't aching in every extremity.
Pound some ibuprofen, stud.

I really did not like striking the rental mains without restoring the house mains. No restore. Just strike. It's wrong.

You need to go rewatch Slings and Arrows.
Theaters close, yeah. And it sucks.
But...theaters open. That's pretty much Theater History. It's very cyclical and longevity is not the byword.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Unless you live in Stratford upon Avon.

The building and the institution has been around since the twenties, so this is not even the second or third time it's closed its doors. And (I think) this is at least the fourth or fifth iteration of the company. If not more. At least the building is an historical landmark, so it would be very difficult for a developer to come in and put a car park there.
Still. It was a home. And a major regional theater to boot. As of today, there is no longer a State Theater of California (unofficial).
And on a slightly pettier note, the pool of searching techies just grew, while the number of venues for work just shrunk.

Our wings are not tired
But...theaters open.
Not right now and not in California. We rank last in the nation for arts funding and most of the theatres in the state are really hurting. We've lost far too many long standing and good theatres statewide in the last two years. San Jose watched one of the longest running musical theatre organizations shut down this past year when American Musical Theatre of San Jose went bankrupt.
Pasadena Playhouse is closing the doors with a faint hope that they can eventually reorganize and reopen at some point in the future, but it is a very sad day for the arts in LA and a very sad day for lots of personal friends who are tied to that theatre.

Plus the city of LA has announced that it's considering cutting off all funding to the arts.
