2) Regarding plays (Broadway and elsewhere), they've died in the sense that they represent a much smaller fraction of the entertainment dollar relative to movies.
- timwiseman 17y agoPercentage wise those have both died and you make valid points, but that is hardly death in a true sense. Family farms are still alive and well in many places in America, as are plays, they are just smaller percentages than in the past.
