Economic Trouble
All around the theater world, there are problems getting the necessary funding to get the job done. Grant money has dried up for the moment and shows just don’t have much in the way of resources. So many of them are turning creative to get the job done in a way that’s still interesting and respectable. The article I’m looking at has a picture of a show whose set is made out of shredded office paper. It’s a a great time for creativity, but it’s hard for shows that had plans all set to make sets and have casts a certain way. This is especially true in theaters in New Jersey, where there is essentially a spending freeze going on that will prevent much of anything from happening during the next several months at least. Hopefully things will get better again but who knows!
