It Begins...

"More than three-quarters of nonprofit theaters are being forced to alter their budgets this year because of the worsening economy, a new study found. Theatre Communications Group, an organization that promotes non-profit theater companies, surveyed 210 theaters in January. A full 77% of those polled said they were laying off administrative staff, freezing salaries, cutting travel or discounting tickets to help get through the downturn."

-from Crain's NY Biz.

Still looking for a link to the original TCG report. If anyone out there has it, feel free to post in Comments.

At least the "discounting tickets" thing sounds good!

(Or does that mean, they're cutting the discounts?)
