I continue to hear all funding for non-profits referred to in terms of economics (you need theater because it's good for local restaurants, theater's hire workers, arts organizati

ons spur economic growth) and fewer and fewer arguments for the simple importance of excellent Humanities in all forms. It drives me mildly batshit, if you'd like to know the truth, that the Economics has become the thought leader in our country, above all else, it seems.
Which is why I so appreciate this perspective from the Guardian. Love Jerusalem and War Horse, Tony nominated and, in the case of War Horse, Tony Awarded?
Thank the British taxpayer.

I agree with you. It seems people only defend theatre, art, dance, and other "arts" is because they bring money to the people, nothing to do with cultural growth and advancement in our society... sigh...
