Transcript: So I live in a fairly large metropolitan area with a healthy regional theatre scene. A lot of my friends are theatre people, and so I get a front row seat (lol) on the struggles when it comes to putting on new and less established works in particular. Part of me is really tempted to make a Facebook group or subreddit or something that would put an equal spotlight on smaller regional theatres and new works - there's always a major disparity in local press between the two or three "big theatres" and the rest of them, and it's particularly bad in the area I live in.

The problem? Like a lot of places, the major theatre-going audience is pretty old and VERY risk-adverse - a couple years ago there was a LOT of public drama when a major regional theatre decided to do "Pacific Overtures" for their annual Sondheim musical over one of his better-known works because people felt like that theatre was "wasting" that year's Sondheim musical slot. I know for a fact that if I started something up I would either a) not get engagement except for the stuff that already gets a bunch of press as it is, b) not get engagement at all, or c) end up being the person stuck moderating a ton of petty drama that I already hate being on the periphery of.

TLDR: I'm a coward and regional theatre drama sucks.
