ABSTRACT

Why do we go to the theater? There’s a question! Or put it this way: Why, oh why, do we go to the theater? If we go to a movie and it isn’t any good, well it’s not the end of the world. We’re usually quite content just the same, sitting in the cineplex with our Gummi Bears. It passes the time. Though, as Samuel Beckett pointed out, the time would have passed anyway. But if we’re disappointed at the theater, everything changes dramatically.
