BUT THEY KEEP BUILDING NEW ONES…
Are there too many theatres in America? Rocco Landesman thinks the answer might be yes. And he's chair of the National Endowment for the Arts, arguably America's most important funding body. He cites a recent survey which "reports a five percentage point decrease in arts audiences in this country. This is juxtaposed against a 23% increase in not-for-profit arts organisations, and a rate of growth for not-for-profit performing arts organisations, specifically, that was 60% greater than that for the total US population." And there can only be two responses to this problem, he argues – either increase demand, or reduce supply. So get more people into the theatres, or get rid of some of those theatres.
