Fine but then this is a choice and the theatre should take responsibility, and that might mean closing down... Honestly that sounds like an elitist, a bit snobbish, attitude ("we won't lower ourselves to making popular shows" sort of thing)
Here in the UK venues have very popular pantomine shows ("pantos") for children/families at Xmas. They are not serious and often slapstick comedy but they sell tickets and fill the room.

The theatre my mother worked in made an attempt at this.
It's harder to pull off than it looks because your reputation as a serious venue is at stake.
Theatre especially goes out of its way to avoid being labelled as a glorified low-tech cinema. Unfortunately that means less money.
