In the Intersection - Partnerships in the New Play Sector (Paperback)

In the Intersection: Partnerships in the New Play Sector A Report on a Meeting of US Nonprofit and Commercial Theater Producers, Washington, DC, November 4-5, 2011 The practice of commingling the commercial and the nonprofit resources of the American Theater has become an accepted and, it would seem from this gathering, increasingly important one since it debuted with the production of "Big River" in 1984, which is revisited in this report. Both the nonprofit leaders and the commercial producers at the event outline ways in which each sector has become dependent upon the other. But, at the same time, both raise significant doubts and challenges to current standards, priorities, and applications of the practice.
