Ok. That was impressive: Theatreforté’s “What is the value of theatre” discussion-prompt snowballed into a theatrosphere-wide tsunami (apologies for the mixed metaphor) – and at last count there were 32 blogs that tackled the topic yesterday, and countless conversations falling from those posts. All of this adding up to an embarrassment of insight.
Here at Theatre is Territory, we’ve been trying to put together a comprehensive list of quotes – for posterity, but also to try to look for unifying theories in all of this.

A pretty good day on the theatreospehere.
There are some follow up responses now coming in from people who are reacting to the initial volley with some interesting additions…
