This article is not very encyclpedic. It's not a promotion about what shows are showing, it should be about the the actual theatre troupe (something I don't know much about, otherwise I'd do it myself!). For example, the theatre's history, location, notable/significant shows in history, and controversies, but a bullet listing of the current season hardly qualifies and an encyclopedic entry.Jarfingle10:17, 19 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Fair enough. I was reading through the article on Hair and noticed Perseverance wasn't in there, and I thought it deserved an article. I just threw this together real quick last night while I was doing a radio show. I let the director of marketing at Perseverance know that I'd put an article up, and suggested that he write up something about the history, put up some photographs, that kind of thing. I'd imagine that "Current Shows" will likely get revised to "Notable Productions" or something like that, cataloging the world premieres etc. PT has had. Albatrossish19:54, 19 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I work at Perseverance Theatre and I made some edits to what was currently under this listing. Thanks to everybody for what you had posted. I will keep amplifying this with notable productions, etc. Thanks for the scrutiny. Nubba03:48, 4 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I see this is all old discussion. However, I was doing some research on Bill Ray. In the course of this, I came across mentions of Bill Ray, Jr. and Perseverance Theatre. I find it odd that while their website (and this article) only mentions Molly Smith, multiple other sources mention her marriage to Bill Ray, Jr. and the fact that they founded the theater together. Lucky for the world that the Juneau Vampire (yeah, I know, just joking) doesn't put their stuff behind a pay wall like so many other newspapers do. Since I'm tired of having the same discussion about how Wikipedia does not need to be a parroting of whatever one finds lying around on the web, I'll quit now. I'll see what I can do to fix it. In the meantime, I'm sure that the theater was named for the mine, though I haven't easily found a reference to that. Does anyone else have anything to confirm or deny that?RadioKAOS (talk) 15:54, 24 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
