Finding space for Orlando's small theaters

OrlandoSentinel.com: "The Orlando Sentinel's Elizabeth Maupin's profile last Sunday of three theaters and their space struggles struck a chord. I have the pleasure of reading the budgets of dozens of performing-arts organizations regularly, and one of the make-or-break expenses is the rent. A significant portion of the $2 million-plus in grants United Arts awards every year to 50 organizations is spent on facilities. The two largest theaters in the region -- Orlando Repertory Theatre and Orlando Shakespeare -- pay $1 a year thanks to the city of Orlando. Small theaters with modest facility costs, such as Bay Street Players in Eustis, are doing well."
