New Research: Theatre Facts 2010 and Taking Your Fiscal Pulse—Fall 2011

According to Theatre Facts 2010, not-for-profit theatres contributed nearly $1.9 billion to the U.S. economy and attracted 31 million attendees. Theatre Facts, now in its 31st edition, is the only in-depth report that examines the attendance, performance and overall fiscal state of the not-for-profit professional theatre industry.

I AM THEATRE…YOU ARE THEATRE…WE ARE THEATRE!

Have you seen the latest I AM THEATRE video featuring Michael John Garcés? I AM THEATRE spotlights the stories of theatre practitioners, in their own words. We've only begun with 50 individuals in the hopes their videos will inspire you to share your own unique experiences in theatre. Now is the time to stand up and be heard, to represent the communities you live in and the work you believe in, and to record your own stories so the world can hear you say: I AM THEATRE. You can find out more about how to submit your video here. If you're planning to be in New York, let us know as we’ll have opportunities for you to videotape your story in our office. Please contact Ruth Eglsaer if you're interested!
