BEDLAM IS HIP AND COOL, JUST LIKE…

Graydon Royce recently posted an article about the folks over at Bedlam.  And it was really rather nice…until he felt the need to force a Guthrie Corp. connection.

Social experience is just what it sounds like: get people in the door and let them have fun. It’s interestingly similar to another theater not far upriver from Bedlam.
“They don’t mind being compared to the Guthrie,” said Vickie Benson, arts program officer at the McKnight Foundation. “When Guthrie was opening, one of the messages was to come here even if you’re not going to a show. That’s what Bedlam is saying, too.”

Yes.  Guthrie Corp. is exactly the theatre in town that Bedlam reminds me of.  They totally stole the G’s “social experience” model.  In my defense, I probably would’ve noticed this resemblance earlier had I not been hanging out every night at the Guthrie.
