4) Theatre is very expensive. Sadly, as funding is cut at the national, state and local levels (plus 9/11, whose effect on private funding is still being felt) has caused even small, local theatre to be $20+ per ticket. That makes the outrageous movie prices seems paltry. One of the main theatres I've worked for (About Face Theatre in Chicago) charges $25-$30 a ticket, and that covers less than 60% of the operating costs of the show.
