Study Focuses on the Care and Feeding of Playwrights
NYTimes.com: "When the playwright Tracy Letts handed over his “August: Osage County” for production in 2007, the board of the Steppenwolf Theater Company here agreed to forgo a balanced budget to finance this 13-character drama and its three-floor set. The bet paid off. The play earned rave reviews, moved to Broadway, won a Pulitzer Prize and a Tony Award, and recouped its investment."

Your truly was one of the panelists contributing to this extraordinary study -- happily, in the one upbeat chapter of the book, "Positive Practices and Novel Ideas." I highly recommend reading the whole study, which you can buy at TDF's website.
