News, Theatres and Dance

Friday's New York Times had an article about cutbacks in New York City's nonprofit theatres, like the Signature, Manhattan Theater Club and New York Theater Workshop.  Declining contributions, lower subscriber rates and increased numbers of discount tickets are all leading to cutbacks in programming.  In the coming weeks, we'll be sending a survey to our users - facilities and working artists.  How is the current economic climate affecting you?  Are you looking at fewer jobs, fewer rentals?  We want to hear from you. 


Also, in Sunday's Times, dance critic Claudia La Rocco wrote about the tough decisions dance companies with their own facilities are facing these days. For years, a room of one's own was considered the hallmark of security and stability in the New York arts scene.  Now, Dance New Amsterdam, Dance Theater Workshop and 3LD Art & Technology are finding that's not necessarily the case.
