Reviews
This book fills a gap in the scholarship dedicated to pre- senting and hosting organizations, and as such, is a valuable tool for any person involved in the management of a PAC. -- Armen Shaomian, The Journal of Arts Management, Law, and Society Performing Arts Center Management is a great resource. Not only does it lay out the varying management structures PACs take throughout the country, it also places them in a historical context, providing true insights into an exciting and rewarding profession. - Howard Sherman, Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer, The Music Center, Los Angeles, California, USA Kudos to Patricia Dewey Lambert and Robyn Williams for breaking down this incredibly complex topic. No two Performing Arts Centers are the same. This book is a must-read for anyone in the industry that would like to know how these mega-operations are both funded and managed. -Mark Najarian, Venue Director, Denver Performing Arts Complex, USA Patricia Dewey Lambert and Robyn Williams have finally filled a gap in the literature of Performing Arts Center (PAC) management by assembling an impressive text that draws on the diverse experience and wisdom of leaders in the field. The contributors to this text are the leading scholars, designers, consultants and executive leaders that have shaped the field of performing arts center development and management. While the focus of the text is on centers in the United States, an international perspective is included as an important context for students and practitioners. This guide effectively charts the unique history, development, programming and challenges of running Performing Arts Centers and is a much-needed tool in teaching the next generation of PAC leaders. -Kevin Maifeld, Seattle University, USA With an emphasis on understanding and engaging local communities, Lambert and Williams have produced an extremely comprehensive book that dramatically increases our understanding of the management of performing arts centers. Citing recent literature, important conceptual frameworks, and many excellent examples, the editors connect theory and practice to produce an invaluable resource for students and arts administrators who accept the challenge of leading these incredibly important institutions. - Richard Maloney, New York University, USA
