The El Paso Playhouse recently released its lineup for the 2010/2011 season. The usual Agatha Christie play is on the schedule along with a few classics and some new works.
It's a shame that more El Pasoans don't attend shows at the playhouse on a regular basis. I would not be surprised if the attendance numbers this year were well below average. (Hope I am wrong). Why is this? Are the ticket prices just a little too high? Are the shows scheduled not appealing enough?
Entertainment dollars are hard to come by all over but there has to be a way to increase attendance and support the hard working actors, technicians, and directors in our city. I am guilty of not attending shows on a regular basis this year, so I need to step up to the plate and do my part in supporting theatre in El Paso.
Here's hoping more people catch the theatre bug and head out to catch a great show at the El Paso Playhouse.
