Can the American Theater Afford to Develop New Work? (Can It Afford Not to?)

The one safe place left for theater artists to stretch their artistic wings may be indie theater, and this panel will examine the reasons to do so, as well as attempt to define the differences between off-Broadway and “indie” theater. We will also look at the distinctions between commercial and non-commercial works, and the importance of both for a healthy culture.

Doors open at 7pm for networking and refreshments, panel starts promptly at 7:30pm.
