"Eat, Drink, and Stage a New Play: 10 things theaters must do to save themselves '
Fri, 17 Apr 2009, 07:15 pmI just read this very interesting article in Utne Reader (very interesting magazine & website in itself; I call it the Readers' Digest for people who think) - "Eat, Drink, and Stage a New Play: 10 things theaters must do to save themselves"

Worth a look...

I did read it!

I thought it was illuminating, fresh and challenging, and I believe there are valuable thoughts in it.
It is a good way, I believe, of getting theatres to look outwards and become a more integral part of the community in which they are ensconced.
I have a feeling (unsubstantiated), that theatre groups could easily become very inward focussed, dwelling on the things that the membership are there for, i.e. theatre stuff.
