I've a question, related to the Topic of the Day, that I'm seriously curious about.  As always, I'm worried about sounding snotty.  Those of you who don't attend the theatre very often: Why not?  Do you not like plays and musicals?  Are tickets too expensive?  Is there not a wide enough array of stage entertainment near were you live?

Best thing I saw all year, by a long stretch: [title of show]

It's hard to come up with a list when I'm far from my playbills, but I know I liked:
Like You Like It
August: Osage County
Idaho!
Gypsy
Bonnie & Clyde
About Face
The Farnsworth Invention
Sunday in the Park With George
Dear Edwina (which the dear wife, Joy, cast)

Having grown up with big city exposure to quality stage works, I find the thought of attending local-yokel little theatre or HS productions unattractive.

I save my theatre bucks for when we can go to DC, Philly or NY.

Yeah - I'm an elitist snob

My favorite theater experience of 2008 was clearly South Pacific.  Otherwise, I enjoyed The Brain From Planet X at the Chance Theater.
