From time to time, Extra Criticum authors will post a quote from someone we admire, something that has stuck with us over the years and is, as they say, quotable.
The following from Ronald Allan-Lindblom:
Last year, during a panel I moderated in Pittsburgh, Ronald Allan-Lindblom, Artistic Director of Pittsburgh Playhouse, said the following and I haven't stopped thinking about it ever since:
I would never found a theatre company in a city that wasn't large enough to support at least one professional sports team.
Wow! Blew my mind when I heard him say that.
What think y'all? Is this too cautious a view? Or is Mr. Lindblom onto something? Talk amongst yourselves...
