Summary

This quote suggests that the concept of repertory theater is outdated and impractical in modern times. With the current emphasis on specialization, where individuals focus on excelling in a particular field, the repertory theater model, where actors perform a diverse range of roles in different productions, is seen as obsolete. The quote implies that in today's society, it is more efficient and effective for actors to specialize and dedicate their talents to specific plays or roles, making repertory theater seem outdated and even absurd.
