Give APE a chance with Castro TheatreOn a positive note, I love the passion my community has for issues that are happening, in this case, at the Castro Theatre ["Cultural district expresses concerns about new Castro Theatre plan," January 27].
But we also tend to jump the gun, dig in our heels (stilettos?), and get our knickers in a twist. Another Planet Entertainment taking over the programming of the Castro Theatre is a good example of that.
I personally work, or have worked, at multiple venues in San Francisco including the Palace of Fine Arts, ACT, SF Giants ballpark, Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, Marines Memorial Theatre, and have worked on shows and events presented or produced by APE.
They are a local company, fair in their hiring practices, respected in the industry, and fun to work with. I would venture to guess that a lot of Bay Area Reporter readers have attended APE events and may not even be aware of that.
