Out to the Provinces!

At last, at long last, somebody is willing to acknowledge that NYC (and the myth of Broadway) cannot remain the be-all and end-all of the American theatre. In a large and diverse nation such as this, there are numerous communities that also desire and deserve top-notch theatre.

Pursuant to this, the NEA has given a nod to a program started by Scott Walters of UNC-Asheville known as the <100k Project . Though Savannah, with a census count of around 130K, may fall outside the parameters of the project, we at The Savannah Dramaturgy would like to enthusiastically endorse the project as a very good thing indeed.
