I like my theatre like I like my men: in town for one night only.
I like my theatre like I like my men: with a slow-and-easy load-in sequence.
I like my theatre like I like my men: with a beautifully-landscaped exterior.
I like my theatre like I like my men: long enough to be worthwhile, but not so long that parts of me go numb.

I would say let's make this thread equal opportunity but I'd be scared what we'd come up with....beyond "I like my theatre like I like my women - with nice long legs."

I've tried to keep mine reasonably gender neutral (except for the condom one). To further confuse the peanut gallery, I submit:

I like my theatre like my partners...
... open to cross-casting
... lit like Christmas mass
... requiring multiple viewings
... avoidant of food props
... not a dry seat in the house
... always able to provide a spare cot
... help I'm trapped in a double entendre factory
... sometimes from up above, sometimes in side view - only the muggles stick with face-to-face
... with a nicely-proportioned loading dock
... with freshly laundered undies
... with a small landing strip, not a glow tape runway
... not a damned shade of grey for miles
... with enough spare time to rehearse the understudies

I haven't actually laughed out loud from internet content in years. Well done!

I like my theatre like I like my men: in rep.

... with a unity of time, location and action.
... able to hit their mark in pitch darkness every night.

....without extraneous (set) dressing.
I personally would like to bring a tortoise onto the stage, turn it into a racehorse, then into a hat, a song, a dragon and a fountain of water. One can dare anything in the theatre and it is the place where one dares the least. -Ionesco

...with realistic bloodsplatter effects.
...in the basement of a suburban high school.
...six days a week and twice on Saturdays.

...too highbrow and thought-provoking for the average American consumer.
...able to remove lids from jars and reach objects on upper shelves. (If you find a show that can do this I will find backers. Srsly.)
...can survive a road trip with me without driving me nuts. (Ditto)
...no cell phones, flash photography or candy wrappers allowed in the middle of an act.
