Denied the the­ater in Ren Square, RBTL is look­ing to move to Brighton. Great, so in addi­tion to the gen­er­ous tax abate­ments I’m sure they’ll get, we’ll get more traf­fic. And when they go belly up, we’ll have a build­ing unsuit­able for any­thing other than demo­li­tion. My taxes are high enough already, maybe it’s time to get the hell out of Brighton.

The Rochester Broad­way The­ater League is so angry that Ren Square didn’t include them they’re tak­ing them­selves to the sub­urbs.

Here’s a hint for them. Buf­falo and its metro area is much larger than Rochester’s. There’s a rea­son they can attract much larger shows (and not just for Broad­way pro­duc­tions) and why Rochester so often gets bypassed. Adding seats won’t nec­es­sar­ily make up for the fact that there’s just fewer Roches­tar­i­ans who would go. It was wise for the city to ques­tion this and remove it from the plan. If RBTL can find a sub­ur­ban loca­tion and fund their the­ater with­out soak­ing the tax­pay­ers, more power to them. But I have a feel­ing they won’t.
