LA Weekly on LATC

DOWNTOWN LOS ANGELES — The LA Weekly has a piece on the LATC in its new issue. If you've been following along you probably won't learn anything new, but it's a good summary of the issues for those just hearing about this whole affair.

Here's the real issue:

Meanwhile, theater companies are fleeing Los Angeles for friendlier quarters as the city sits on top of houses it can’t open for lack of funds. The new Nate Holden Theater sits empty except on rare occasions when it is rented out for a special event. There is no strategic plan to program and operate the Madrid in the Valley or the Vision in Central Los Angeles.

Someone needs to hurry up and solve that one.

Update (Thurs 1pm): It's interesting to set this LATC stuff against a Backstage article discussing theatre company conflict in Culver City. Here a new resident company has just been named, and their scheduling is causing issues for smaller companies who had been set to use the space.
