I think this article really vocalized a lot of the fears that I have for this country once the new administration comes in. There are so many areas of concern that it is impossible to know about all of them, but the theater industry and live entertainment that tends to lean more towards the left is one that is on my radar. I was not aware of a lot of the previous negative impacts on theatre by the next administration’s first term, but I was not surprised in the least to read about it in this article. Their contempt for the purposes of live theater and the inherent progressiveness of it makes it a prime target for the objectives of the next administration. I like that the article also talked about funding from donors, and how it will be unrealistic to rely upon donations when so many organizations and causes will require donations in the next four years.
