Totally agree about getting someone with a passion for and knowledge of sound business-building practices involved in a new theatre company.

I’ve seen so many promising artist collective-y type things falter and stall because no one’s driving the business end of the deal.

My question is why more business-orientation professionals don’t see the appeal in becoming a part of the theatre community. How can we change our offering to make it more appealing to business leaders? As I see it, independent theatre is a totally underdeveloped market. How do we sell it to the the members of the business community? Cha-ching!

Ian
