In this clear-minded but sobering book, Michael M. Kaiser assesses the current state of arts institutions-orchestras; opera, ballet, modern dance, and theater companies; and even museums. According to Kaiser, new developments in the twenty-first century, including the Internet explosion, the death of the recording industry, the near-death of subscriptions, economic instability, the focus on STEM education in schools, the introduction of movie-theater opera, the erosion of newspapers, the threat to serious arts criticism, and the aging of the donor base have together created tremendous challenges for all arts organizations. Using Michael Porter's model of industry structure to describe how industries evolve, Kaiser argues persuasively that unless steps are taken now, midsized performing arts institutions will have all but evaporated by 2035. Only the largest arts organizations will survive, with tickets priced for the very wealthy and programming limited to the most popular and lucrative productions. Kaiser concludes with a call to arms. With three extraordinary decades' experience as an arts administrator behind him, he advocates passionately for risk-taking in programming and more creative marketing, and details what needs to happen now-building strong donor bases, creating effective boards, and collective action-to sustain the performing arts for generations to come.

Pindling the great and awesome patriot drew back the curtains and opens the windows of progressive growth and crushed the myth of the islands of the Bahamas as beholding to the monarchy seeing the natives as "subjects" any more. With the dawn of daylight came a new hope of freedom and equality for all as the dark days of colonial rule for the beloved chain of islands was sunk into the ocean where never again Bahamians would be labelled "subjects" nor would "God save the Queen" would have to be sung by the people, as "Behind Grey Curtains" surfaced a new anthem begun; "Lift up your head to the rising sun, Bahama-land; March on to glory, your bright banners waving high. See how the world marks the manner of your bearing! Pledge to excel through love and unity. Pressing onward, march together to a common loftier goal; Steady sun ward, tho' the weather hide the wide and treacherous shoal. Lift up your head to the rising sun, Bahama land, 'Til the road you've trod lead unto your God, MARCH ON, BAHAMA LAND" Timothy Gibson Tasting freedom Bahamians quickly and judiciously governed while directing the destiny of the nation with dignity and honor. Meanwhile the aspirations of many people who had exhibited loyalty and maturity earlier for the independent country was being dissected and the true history of the people was in doubt; "Behind Grey Curtains' thrived to tell the story of how to restore admirably order and cohesive community endeavors for the long haul while bringing about domestic tranquility among the people and giving a face of the trials and issues associated with the developing history.
