Why, with all the theater that goes on around here, is there so little community theater that's really T-accessible?

Rent? By which I mean, places not T-accessible tend to be cheaper, and thus more conducive to community theater budgets?...

T-accessible?

"The T" is the local term for the MBTA, Boston's public transit system.

Sorry, let me clarify. So few community theaters that are really T-accessible and are doing shows I'm interested in doing. :)

Also, I have to say that the one time I auditioned for them, I wasn't overly impressed. The director spent a lot of time inside-joking around with some of the auditioners; it wasn't very welcoming for a newcomer.

That's pretty common for community theatre, regardless of where they are. Hell, even upscale places like Turtle Lane can be pretty cliquish.

However, I think you'd be a great candidate for The Margaret Ghost. Even though it is assuredly not on your existing list of plays you want to do. :-}

Ah.

Right after I posted my question, it occured to me that you were probably referring to a bus line or some such, but up until that point my brain was not serving up helpful suggestions.

I think it's an extension of the phenomenon that really most *things* are not so T-accessible. I mean, a lot of things are, but there's a lot of greater Boston area that isn't so accessible, and those parts have their share of stuff in them. :)

[saxikath]

True. But it can be more and less explicit.

Yet another reason to stay away from Sudbury Savoyards... :P

Yeah, for a moment there I was wondering if Boston's theater district was less-than-welcoming of the transgendered crowd or some such.
