I love this venue, but its too bad that the days of touring dance troupes and a diversity in programming are long gone. I just received a catalog for another city's performing arts center. In it are concerts for classical music (opera, recitals, masterworks, touring orchestras, solo performers), a broadway series, a dance series, a swing series, family programming, musical theatre, diverse Christmas programming representing various countries, and a popular music series with the likes of some 60s groups and individual performers. Compare this to the offering of ECPAC. This other 1700 seat venue can pull this all together profitably. So, why can't the 1200 seat ECPAC get on the ball and support the diversity of its surrounding community and offer at some of the offerings listed about and be more than one dimensional programming of limited interest? If old time and more recent musical theatre were all that are representative of the the interests of the people, fine, but I am certain the interests are much broader. By the way, this other venue has a plus assets of $8.5 million. ECPAC is barely getting by, and last I heard, is begging City Council for money. I think the management and City Council need to wake up and realize there is a benefit in supporting and providing programming of interest to an entire community, not just to the special interest group of Christian Community Theatre. Here's a beautiful theatre with wonderful acoustics, plenty of parking, places to eat and drink before and after the show, easy freeway access, and I doubt if the average San Diegan even knows it exists. Its just too bad.
