i love the theater. i don't think it's so much the next generation not being interested when they're older...just that a lot of teens aren't interested, regardless of the generation they're from. i've always liked it, though, even though i've not had the opportunity to go as often as i would have liked. i've seen the phantom of the opera, that was wonderful! and, i've seen small, local interpretations of different stories. i like things like that, though...opera, musicals, plays, etc. i'd love to see little women.
