Angels in the American Theater

We know that an event is not theatrical unless an audience is there to witness it. Indeed, the audience itself transforms what might otherwise be a moment of reality into an artistic event. We also know that a theatrical production, however small, will not happen unless there is funding to support it. Whether it is a community production in someone’s backyard, or a full-scale musical on a Broadway stage, funding support is always a necessity.
