AMERICAN THEATRE: In 2017-18, Atlanta’s Alliance Theatre programmed a whole season around their city while their venue was under renovation; this fall Cincinnati Playhouse in the Park will stage shows in various venues while a new permanent theatre is being constructed. But today the board of directors at Long Wharf Theatre, one of New England’s major LORT theatres, took a step outside of the box for good: They will forfeit the lease on their current space, which they’ve occupied since 1965, and embrace an itinerant production model in line with the organization’s “focus on a commitment to artists, collaborators, and the communities they serve,” according to a press release. It went on to say the new vision is “guided by three core pillars: revolutionary partnerships, artistic innovation, and radical inclusion.”
