Theater: Broadway or other Live shows
Any Broadway show fans? In the NYC area how often do you go to shows? Do you go to the theater when the travelling productions come to town? Do you support small actors workshops and go to school plays etc?
I try to do all of that as often as possible. Live shows have a more human element than TV or movie. I probably see one live show every month.

I live in the NYC area and don't go nearly as often as I'd like to. I love live theater - and the intimate feel of it. (The revival of 1776 remains one of the - if not THE - best play I've seen since moving here five years ago.)
Why don't we go more? Couple reasons: First off is price. Most tickets are $80 or higher - even with the half-off TKTS booth, that's $40-$50 per person. And Yoshi and I don't have the money (when you toss in parking and dinner). Also, since we don't live in the city, dragging ourselves in takes motivation we may not have. After our work weeks, the last thing we want to do is go into "NYC-mode" where we're on our guard and putting off "go away" vibes to strangers.
