Chapter 7 Summary

I read chapter 7 in the Management book. It was about the college theatre. I was glad to see that Iowa was one of the first states to support college theatre. It was very interesting to read about the growth of the theatre arts through time in the collegiate setting. It went from a small sector of not very successful groups, to many many campuses all across the nation and world. The different programs of the college theatre are different levels of involvement mostly. there's extracurricular theatre activities, elective theatre course offerings, liberal arts theatre programs, and both vocationally oriented undergrad and grad programs. Some colleges have committees and boards that run the theatre, others are mostly student and professor driven. despite the obvious need and growth of the theatre departments, many go underfunded and underappreciated.
