Boston Theatre Box Office Down Since War

War is not good for Boston theatre. “Since the fighting started, business is bad, as bad as it was after Sept. 11. People are afraid. They just want to go home now. Indeed, there is a palpable sense of malaise at Greater Boston theaters and concert halls this spring, say local presenters, producers, and performers. ‘It’s very hard to get people out of the house to see anything but light entertainment at this time, and I can’t say I entirely blame them’.”
