From Salon.com: Why is theatre making a comeback? "At $8 to $10 a ticket, movies are a cheap escape from reality. But movies offer no escape from the omnipresent, sapping screens that tether the eyes and dog us, day after day, hour after hour, bidding us to nearly human (but not genuinely human) interaction, which, though it engages us, does not necessarily nourish the soul. If someone on a screen throws a ball, nobody in the audience could ever catch it. On a stage, though, the possibility of playing catch is always there." (Note: requires a free "day-pass.")
