It appears from Doug MacCash’s article<\/a> this morning that the board at Le Petit Theatre got their way and have sold half of the theater to Dickie Brennan. It’s a sad day for New Orleans and any one out there who believes this was the only road to salvation does not understand the fear tactics and short-sightedness of what went on behind the scenes. I liken this to the Tea Party having hijacked Obama’s agenda and having diffused the truth into a he said, she said battle royale during the debt negotiations that left the entire country with a black eye. New Orleans has her black eye today.<\/p>\n

I lament the passing of one of the oldest theaters in the country, Le Petit Theatre, it will never be the same as it gets converted into yet one more restaurant. I don’t blame the Brennans, any restauranteur would have drooled on themselves to get this prime real estate, I blame the board that would not entertain a better way out of the mess they created.<\/p>\n

I can only imagine the next thing they decide to do to pay for the theater is to put up a tee shirt shop in the lobby, with slogans such as these:<\/p>\n

The lady doth protest too much<\/strong><\/p>\n

Parting is such sweet sorrow<\/strong><\/p>\n

The summer of our discontent [sic]<\/strong><\/p>\n

Something is rotten in the state of Louisiana [sic]<\/strong><\/p>\n

Et tu, Dickie? [sic]<\/strong><\/p>\n

The play’s the thing<\/strong><\/p>\n
