Dressing for the Theater

Recently had the chance to go see Arsenic and Lace at the Guthrie and was reminded of one of the great things about this city is its amazing cultural performing art centers.

That said I would like to comment on "Dressing for a Play"

I heard several comments on this topic and find it kind of interesting. Apparently you have to dress for the theater. Which means suit tie and or dress. I think people might have this a little confused. I think you should dress for a play the same way the culture of the day expects you to dress for a night out. I mean if we want to get all technical on this topic when ever we dress for plays we should be putting on out formal togas since that is how the people who invented the concept of our modern theater dressed.

But at some point someone said you know I think togas are a little dated maybe we should wear bloomers or what ever came next.

I think we should be at that point in our own culture where we can say you know jeans and a button down are ok..and stop with all the pretentiousness.

I think it is only Minneapolis. We were having a drink at Seachange with Richie's parents this weekend and Jimmy commented on how everyone was dressed up and how no one in NYC or Chicago dresses up anymore. :)
