The Ledger-Enquirer today did a story on the health of the local arts organizations. The Springer was the only one that addressed attendance directly and Paul Pierce said they were up and headed for a record year. That truly is remarkable. My experience with other regional theaters is that their Christmas shows have performed well but the rest have declined. The other organizations talked generally about their successes but didn't address attendance.
It's not only a new world with all of the inexpensive entertainment (internet, Net Flix, cable TV, etc.) but now the bottom has fallen out of a lot of people's income. Uncertain times make for difficult choices so help your local arts organization if you can.
