FOREWORD
The Pew Charitable Trusts commissioned The Performing Arts in a New Era from RAND in 1999 as part of a broad initiative aimed at increasing policy and financial support for nonprofit culture in the United States.

The study was inspired in part by a pair of landmark reports on the performing
arts
