Evolution of the American Arena Stage Theatre
Abstract
The article analyses the history of the famous American non-profit theatre Arena Stage, one of the first regional theatres in the United States. The artistic, creative and organizational activity of the company is presented as the evolution of the theatre in the pursuit of serving public goals. Examples are given of how the founder of Arena Stage, Z. Fichandler, in her creative strategy, tried to resist the “artistic deficit”, refusing the compromises to attract mass audience.
