Subject: [NEOPAL]RE: Fear of possible dissolving of theatre in the U.S
Message-ID: <8649492.1144415491456.JavaMail.root at elwamui-huard.atl.sa.earthlink.net>
I have been doing stand up comedy here for over 4 years and improvisational=
acting for more than 2. I've seen the demise of Second City for reasons t=
hat of course have nothing to do with the quality of the work presented on =
stage but rather a way of thinking that permeates Cleveland and has for yea=
rs on end. =20
We in the Cleveland Comedy community present independent shows weekly in th=
e area. Every Wednesday there is a show at Bassa Vita Lounge 1572 West 117=
th. Generally the show features nationally touring club performers who als=
o work at The Improv and Pickwick. At Bassa every Tuesday night is an open=
improvisational jam. At Bassa every Thursday Cabaret Dada performs. The =
Ground Floor Theatre in Cleveland Heights presents improvisational and sket=
ch shows every Friday, and stand up, featuring nationally touring comedians=
, every Saturday. They present classes as well. Next Friday several local c=
omedians are presenting an "Impeachment" show to demonstrate their dislike =
of the current administration. This Saturday, and Saturday April 29th, the=
re is a sketch and improvisational show being presented at The Croatian Tav=
ern by The Public Squares, a 3 year old sketch troupe.
Every one of these struggles to draw an audience. It's a real crime too. =
We publicize everywhere. The problem is the general population of Clevelan=
d. You really have to make an effort to go to any of these things. Of cou=
rse it's worth it, but Cleveland is a parochial city filled with people who=
live in the far suburbs and exurbs who won't venture "downtown" or to any =
"inner ring" suburb. No way, no how. It's all part of the socio-economic =
makeup of Northeast Ohio. I can't explain it but it's frustrating. There =
is no doubt the entire arts community supports one another. It's not us I'=
m worried about. The city and general area is losing jobs and people. The=
economics are strained. In addition, the way people "think" around here, =
the general population expects to pay $15.00 to see a Broadway show, a Satu=
rday Night Live sketch, or Chris Rock at a comedy show. If they don't get =
that, they wonder why and never venture out again. They'd rather sit in th=
eir nice comfortable 5 bedroom houses in their McMansions in Avon Lake and =
Medina and Solon and etc. and watch DVD's or satellite movies. That's the =
extent of their interest in arts, unless the nephew, cousin or kid is in th=
e show.
That is the apathy that must be fought against for every show. Every show.=
It's no wonder so many young talented people flee this scene when they ca=
n, and flee the city when they can.
Perform here for the love of the art. Publicize the best you can. Know th=
at your fellow artists, be they actors, improvisors, musicians or comedians=
, support what you are doing. Hope and pray that you can get at least some=
people off their narrow minded parochial way of thinking to support what's=
going on around you. Good luck it isn't easy, but it is possible.
Do it for love, not for recognition.
