The ability to balance a company's two \"bottom-lines\"--economic survival and artistic vision--is a defining characteristic of any successful non-profit going about the business of serving the artistic needs of young people and society. This book fills a significant gap in the performing arts literature by identifying successful economic strategies children's theatre touring companies use in balancing economic survival and artistic excellence. Through a case approach, the first recorded oral histories of St. Louis children's theatre touring companies are linked with economic strategies posited in the Rand report, The Performing Arts in a New Era. The fact these companies have existed for nearly 40 years appears to validate their strategic significance. Non-profit arts leaders and managers, researchers and students of the arts should discover the findings in this book to be of great benefit in learning more about non-profit structure, and the challenges organizations face when trying to balance economic survival with their organization's subjective \"bottom-line.\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"VDM Verlag","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46881701232791,"sku":"9783639178715","price":5439.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9783639178715.webp?v=1770232130","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/childrens-theatre-9783639178715","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
