'Many of the problems facing the nonprofit theater industry in the U.S. right
now — from scant resources to the lack of diversity — have been around for
ages.
But before the pandemic, performing arts groups were so focused on raising the
curtain each night it was easier to ignore long-standing problems than fix
them.
Now, thanks to a combination of lackluster ticket sales and an end to
government relief, they have no choice but to try out new things in order to
secure a future.
"The key question is, what are the things that are being done in order to
emerge from the pandemic in a sustainable way?" said Teresa Eyring, executive
director and CEO of Theatre Communications Group, a support organization for
the nation's performing arts sector.
No one has the answer. But organizations around the country are at least trying
to find creative new solutions.'
