I do not recognize Sam Longoria's description of Los Angeles theater. I'm sure it's out here, somewhere, but what he's doing is kind of like describing Pioneer Square solely through anecdotes about its homeless population. It's a very "New York" hot-take on a world I spend a lot of time in. At the moment, I'm working on a new play by well-known writer Octavio Solis. It's a world-premiere that will be performed site-specifically, at a local horse ranch. It's very relevant, about the struggle for water between northern California's ranchers and the native Americans there. After its run here in LA, we're taking it north to Siskiyou, where the events of the story are set. I am being paid for my work, and among the cast and crew, I have yet to identify a single "sad, insane Indy stage person." If Mr. Longoria is looking to revivals of "Guys and Dolls" for artistic satisfaction - well, perhaps that his first mistake.
