Abstract: This thesis, presented in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Business Administration/Master of Fine Arts in Theatre Management, argues that institutional theatre companies must immediately begin to develop marketing strategies focused on increasing information accessibility and community engagement via popular social web platforms like Facebook in order to increase current and future audience growth and retention rates. With so many performing arts events taking place annually on college campuses it is important that performing arts departments and institutional theatre companies located on college campuses focus on increasing awareness of campus arts offerings. Traditional theatre audiences, Baby Boomers and older generations, are undeniably aging out, and theatre communities nationwide, professional and institutional, are suffering from the inability to spark the interest of and engage with new, younger patrons. Empirical research indicates that currently Millennial consumers are the largest generational cohort since the Baby Boomers, have more purchasing power than any other generation currently living, and are spending most of their social time online. A University of Michigan Social Research study found that 80 to 90 percent of Millennials use social media, three out of four have created a profile on a social networking site, and 80 percent sleep with their cell phones next to them. (Fromm 2013, 76) It therefore seems unwise for marketers in any industry to ignore statistics like these and not immediately begin to develop social media strategies for marketing with the Millennial consumer group, especially campus performing arts marketers. By increasing awareness of campus arts offerings, institutional theatre companies can help develop long term affinity for the arts within the Millennial cohort and beyond. Additional research, as shown in this thesis, indicates that marketing via Facebook is increasing in popularity for many organizations because of the ease with which consumers can communicate directly with the company as well as with fellow consumers. Colleges and universities are prime candidates for initiating social media marketing strategies because Millennial student audiences can communicate and get involved with the arts on college campuses. These factors, among many others that will be discussed throughout this thesis, present a compelling case for institutional theatre companies to begin developing or re-strategizing current social media marketing strategies in order to capture the interest of the dominant Millennial consumer group, and strengthen audience retention across demographics. By creating indexes with which to measure and score a sample of US institutional theatre companies' Facebook pages' online community engagement efforts, this thesis is able to analyze current levels of institutional theatre companies' information accessibility and engagement efforts through the popular social media platform, Facebook, as well as the effectiveness of their efforts based on customer engagement. My research results will demonstrate the severity with which many institutions' strategies need to change as well as which institutions are actively engaging with and retaining student and public audiences.

Theatre in the Expanded Field is a fiercely original, bold and daring exploration of the fields of theatre and performance studies and the received narratives and histories that underpin them. Rich with interdisciplinary reference, international, eclectic and broad-ranging in its examples, it offers readers a compelling and provocative reassessment of the disciplines, one that spans pre-history to the present day. Sixty years ago, in 1962, Richard Southern wrote a remarkable book called The Seven Ages of the Theatre. It was unusual in its time for taking a trans-disciplinary, new-historical and avowedly internationalist approach to its subject - nothing less than a totalizing view of its field. Theatre in the Expanded Field does not attempt to mimic Southern's work but rather takes his spirit of adventure and ambition as its frame for the contemporary moment of performance and its diverse pasts. Identifying seven ways of exploring the performance field, from pre-history to postdramatic theatre the book presents studies of both contemporary and historical works not as a chronological succession, but in keeping with their coeval qualities, as movements or 'generations' of connection and interaction, dissensus and interruption. It does this with the same purpose as Richard Southern's original work: to provide for the planning of responsive performance spaces 'now'. Illustrated throughout with line-drawings, Theatre in the Expanded Field is as richly rewarding as it is ambitious and expansive in it vision.

In June 1965 a group of dedicated professional artists of the theatre met in Paris, France to create the International Association of Theatre for Children and Youth (ASSITEJ). Four days later ASSITEJ was born, and its story began in Volume I (1964-1975) of this history. Now Volume III covers the years from 1991 to 2005, a period of ASSITEJ's greatest growth, a period of rededication to the Association's original ideals and purpose, and a world-wide expansion under new leadership. The Secretariat also entered the current world in terms of communication and committee activity. ASSITEJ now has over 80 national centers around the world. Its Secretariat is currently in Croatia, and the 15 members of its current Executive Committee (2011-2014) come from Argentina, Australia, Austria, Cameroon, Croatia, Germany, Iceland, India, Japan, Mexico, Russia, Serbia, South Africa, United Kingdom, and USA.

This research-based book investigates the effects of digital transformation on the cultural and creative sectors. Through cases and examples, the book examines how artists and art institutions are facing the challenges posed by digital transformation, highlighting both positive and negative effects of the phenomenon. With contributions from an international range of scholars, the book examines how digital transformation is changing the way the arts are produced and consumed. As relative late adopters of digital technologies, the arts organizations are shown to be struggling to adapt, as issues of authenticity, legitimacy, control, trust, and co-creation arise. Leveraging a variety of research approaches, the book identifies managerial implications to render a collection that is valuable reading for scholars involved with arts and culture management, the creative industries and digital transformation more broadly.
