The History and Mission of Arts Institutions was a very insightful course into the world of Theater Management. The professor, who has had several years of experience fundraising for various theatre companies, did an excellent job of teaching the class about the responsibilities, strategies, and obstacles that someone working in Theater Management must confront daily. He did this by providing us with case studies, by inviting guest lecturers from Broadway, and by assigning an end-of-the-year group project that allowed us to create our own nonprofit arts organization. From this course, I gained a comprehensive understanding of both Theatre Management and fundraising for nonprofit arts organizations.
