Stop assuming.

They did, as i recall, insist on patrons buying seperate tickets for the shows, and for a bit of time had a minimum. Did not work.

And keep in mind this is all against the backdrop of converting The Church on the Square into a theater right across the street at the same time. Also, I believe this may have been about the time they first purchased the land south of 466 which opened the flood gates for going south.

What you are saying was "easy" ignores a lot of happenings in the same time frame, along with ignoring the lack of customers.

But, they did experiment....did not work
