We have heard it once, twice, even three times. The economic situation is hard on the entertainment industry. Although, I remember hearing that our industry is one of the most stable out there (apart from the service industry). It is important for theaters to stay strong and make plans for the future. It is a good time to reach out to the community and the local schools and try to increase cultural and artistic awareness in the country's youngest citizens. Just because our priorities change from big commercial theater, to smaller shows doesn't mean we have to stop our other work as well.
