"80% of the artists who appear on the Skylight stage are local. They have a stake in the place. The Skylight operates as much on good will as it does on money."

Thanks for sharing this with the readers of this blog...really appreciate it. And I think Tom Strini is "right on." Sad to say...
ReplyDeletethis is a terrific interview...thank you for posting it.
ReplyDeletethis from the production managers forum today - from an Opera company, no less:
ReplyDelete"In fact, I think I’d rather spend $150 on (misc food) and keep my staff happy and feel valued than have to argue about overtime and other tedious issues. I have found this group of staff members more likely to go above and beyond for the production and this company without extra remuneration because they have a sense of ownership of our product and belonging to the team which creates our art, rather than just being an employee paid for services."
Using a "business model" is one way to run a theatre but we can create much more when we don't.
