chicagotribune.com: "In theatrical lore, the commercial producer and the non-profit theater company are worlds apart. The former is synonymous with mercurial, cigar-chewing entrepreneurship; the latter is fulfilling a sacred social mission to serve and protect the arts.
But recent events suggest that, at least where plays rather than musicals are concerned, the line between these two halves of the American theater business have collapsed to the point where the distinction is no longer as meaningful. Prodded by fiscal necessity, non-profit theaters have become ever more entrepreneurial and star-conscious; producers are taking more risks to support serious, weighty and frequently new drama."
