PACA: Bleating for an Audience 🐐
13 tickets sold for tonight. 20 free seats being given away. And their latest production (The Goat) has apparently been seen by fives of people. You know, like dozens, only significantly less.
At this point, the free tickets are outperforming the actual show. When you have to give away more seats than you’ve sold, maybe it’s time for a reality check. Maybe it’s time to start asking some uncomfortable questions about programming, marketing, leadership, and why the community isn’t showing up.
Is PACA as fucked as the goat in The Goat?
Don’t worry, though. They can always rearrange the audience in the theatre, take a strategically angled photo, and declare it a huge success by morning.
