I personally would like to bring a tortoise onto the stage, turn it into a racehorse, then into a hat, a song, a dragon and a fountain of water. One can dare anything in the theatre and it is the place where one dares the least. -Ionesco

Theater of the Stars in Atlanta . . .

"UPDATE: It is with much regret that Theater of the Stars announces that the 2013-14 season has been canceled in full. The company's financial position has forced the organization to cancel Disney's The Little Mermaid and Cats, in what was to be their 61st season. After exhausting every avenue possible to present this season, the continued effects of a slow economy and the financial results of last years' season precludes the organization from having the resources to mount the current season's productions. Information is forthcoming as the Staff and Board of Directors are working hard to determine next steps."

Shakespeare Santa Cruz
http://news.ucsc.edu/2013/08/shakespeare-release.html
(One friend made comment that there wasn't any statement from the actual AD of the theatre in this University press release - implying he wasn't given the opportunity.)

More:

More still: A blog post/commentary, which basically accuses the University of blaming the closing on Equity actors (LORT D I believe?) It includes a response from the AD.

Such a shame that a lot of theaters and theater companies closed are in danger to close.

New York City Opera has popped up here before, but it looks like they're down for the count this time. They need to raise $7m by Monday or it's all over.

New York City Opera, which recently sought to raise a total of $20 million in emergency funds, was unable to reach its fundraising goal as of Sept. 30.  The organization began bankruptcy proceedings yesterday.

Guess I'll have to take "see a performance at NYC Opera" off the bucket list.

San Diego Opera closing at the end of it's current season - quite a surprise.  10th largest opera company in the US and the third largest arts group in San Diego.
