you have the opportunity to do so in Austin (which is premiering a Philip Glass opera this year), San Antonio, El Paso, McAllen, Houston (which has one of the best companies in America), Galveston, Fort Worth, Dallas, Garland, Amarillo or Abilene

The problem with theatre these days is that it isn't serious or elitist enough. If I had a dollar for every christ-awful "modern" re-telling of Shakespeare I've ever seen, I'd have enough money to see a psychologist enough times to get me over all that.

YES, WE KNOW SHAKESPEARE MADE A FEW KNOB JOKES. GET OVER IT.
