What is going on at the Atlas? The was very little programming in the summer, and nothing in September. Are the Harman and other downtown theaters taking all of the business?
Most arts organizations slow down in the summer and start new seasons right about now

All arts organzations need support these days...even STC (at the Harman) despite all butts in the (free) seats they had furloghs and layoffs too.
