The ART Case Study presents a very different kind of nonprofit organization than the humanitarian and charitable organizations we studied earlier in the course.

Refer to the Toepler & Wyszomirski reading for insights on this segment of the nonprofit world.
According to the 2016 Theater Facts Report, only about half of the 131 “trend” theaters had positive net assets for the period 2012-2016. How do ART’s balance sheet and net assets compare to other large theaters in the analysis? Discuss whether ART has adequate working capital to avoid borrowing for operations. As a group the theaters had 52% earned income and 48% contributions. Based on ART’s 990s, website, and any other information you can locate, how do ART’s finances compare with its peers?
Discuss the tension between maximizing audience size and ticket revenue on the one hand, and the aesthetic mission of the theater on the other. What challenges are presented by the shift from a subscription model to more single-ticket sales? Do you agree or disagree with how Diane Paulus and her staff were meeting the challenges and balancing the tensions? Why or why not? 
Compare ART’s strategy to the New York City Opera case study in Worth. Based on the information in the ART case study and associated readings, how can ART best maintain both its vision and its audience? What are the most important variables for sustaining ART’s success?
