Angels in the American Theater: Patrons, Patronage, and
Philanthropy examines the significant roles that theater patrons
have played in shaping and developing theater in the United States.
Because box office income rarely covers the cost of production,
other sources are vital. Angels - financial investors and backers -
have a tremendous impact on what happens on stage, often
determining with the power and influence of their money what is
conceived, produced, and performed. But in spite of their
influence, very little has been written about these
philanthropists. Composed of sixteen essays and fifteen
illustrations, ""Angels in the American Theater"" explores not only
how donors became angels, but also their backgrounds, motivations,
policies, limitations, support, and successes and failures.
Subjects range from millionaires Otto Kahn and the Lewisohn sisters
to foundation giants Ford, Rockefeller, Disney, and Clear Channel.
The first book to focus on theater philanthropy, ""Angels in the
American Theater"" employs both a historical and a chronological
format and focuses on individual patrons, foundations, and
corporations.
