AMERICAN THEATRE: Just about three hours southwest of Indianapolis, nestled against the Wabash River where it carves the border between Indiana and Illinois, sits the small town of New Harmony, Ind. New Harmony boasts a population that doesn’t quite top 700, but it has long punched above its weight in one respect at least: For three decades, the New Harmony Project has offered writers a retreat away from the bustle of major cities to workshop and focus on creating new work.

The idea that we can expand the budget and the people but still be limited by time is exactly what we talked about in production science. Without everlasting time art will always be turned away because so many people want to create what they believe deserves to see the world. I think people will always strive to accept and show as much art work as they can. This is shown by Indy PlayFest expanding the budget and having plans to extend the time of the festival. They really care about trying to put out as much work as possible creating a packed schedule that doesn't strive off of urgency. In the end of the article they mention that in the theater world many people believe if they only had another day the entire production would benefit but we live in a world in which art is never done. I think Indy PlayFests sincerity to art that people truly appreciate is refreshing and proves their dedication to the community.
