| Summary: | Since its inception in 1986, Southern Rep has maintained a formidable reputation for providing quality artistic programming as a nonprofit theatre company. Despite this status, dwindling government funding for arts in the United States combined with a decline in earned revenue and audience attendance has impacted Southern Rep’s operations. The result is an increased need for development and fundraising activities.
The purpose of this report is to document my internship with Southern Rep from September 4, 2012 through June 5, 2013. My assessment is written from the perspective of an Arts Administrator functioning in a development capacity. By identifying Southern Rep’s internal strengths and weaknesses combined with external opportunities and threats which impact its operations, I will provide recommendations to achieve sustainability of contemporary drama in a conservative yet emergent environment. |
