Time For The Closing Curtain
Downtown Cabaret Theatre的点评
点评：We have enjoyed decades of visiting the Downtown Cabaret Theatre in Bridgeport, Connecticut. With a lively cabaret style setting and slate of good theatrical performances, it was on our "must do" agenda several times a year. We saw countless plays, children's performances, and musicals. Unfortunately, times have changed and appears that the cabaret will be closing its door and dropping the curtain for good.
A lot of the chatter blames the closure on patron decline after Covid and on the sale of the building hosting the theatre (which resulted in a rent increase). Personally, having attended since the 1980's I think much of the blame lies with changes that the Cabaret made themselves. Community actors (bank tellers, grocery clerks, accountants) that you knew from the area had a chance to highlight their other skills and talents. Somewhere along the way, it was decided that members of the actors guild needed to be included which came with a pay scale and higher ticket prices. At the same time, that which made the theatre enjoyable (aka theatrical shows) started to disappear. Regularly, you could count on a performance year that included a drama, a comedy, a musical, a classic, etc. Over the past few years, however, the Cabaret has fallen in love with tribute bands and have limited their main stage productions to two a year. Personally, if I want to hear a tribute band, I will go to any town green over the Summer and am sure to find a full schedule.
It was good while it lasted and I am happy that it was part of our lives for almost 50 years.

翻译：几十年来，我们一直很喜欢去康涅狄格州布里奇波特市中心的歌舞剧院。那里热闹的歌舞表演氛围和精彩的戏剧演出，每年都是我们“必去”的地方。我们看过无数话剧、儿童剧和音乐剧。可惜的是，时代变迁，这家歌舞剧院似乎即将关门歇业，永不再演。
很多人将剧院的关闭归咎于新冠疫情后观众人数的下降以及剧院所在建筑的出售（导致租金上涨）。就我个人而言，我从上世纪80年代就开始光顾这家剧院，我认为很大程度上要归咎于剧院自身的一些改变。以前，那些你认识的当地居民（银行柜员、杂货店店员、会计）有机会在这里展示他们的其他技能和才华。后来，剧院决定也应该吸纳演员协会的成员，这就带来了更高的薪酬和更贵的票价。与此同时，那些让剧院充满乐趣的元素（也就是戏剧演出）开始消失。以前，剧院每年都会上演话剧、喜剧、音乐剧、经典剧目等等。然而，近几年，卡巴莱剧院迷上了致敬乐队，并将主舞台的演出数量限制在每年两场。就我个人而言，如果我想听致敬乐队的表演，夏天去任何一个城镇的广场，肯定都能找到满满的演出安排。
美好的时光总是短暂的，我很庆幸它曾陪伴我们近五十年。
