Document Summary
Each location and form of theatre attract certain kinds of audiences. A successful theatre organization is one that realizes this and does its best to provide theatre events that are appropriate and satisfying to its audience. Hollywood assumes a movie is national, not regional. Every production is either a new work or a revival. New work is the first time an original script is premiered. Revival is when the play is given a different production at a later date, bringing back to life something that was sickly or dead (ie: macbeth, our town). A theatre organization and its productions are either for profit (ie: broadway, touring companies) or nonprofit. They continue to operate only because they are funded by some organization, or they engage in fund-raising to pay all the bills. All theatres and their production can be divided into professional and amateur standings.
