"arts management consultant" (Lorton, VA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME) This review is from: How to Run a Theater: A Witty, Practical and Fun Guide to Arts Management (Paperback) Volz' How to Run a Theater should be required reading for anyone working in the field of arts management -- be they artists or managers or artist/managers -- and anyone training to work in this challenging field. Written in the "witty" style that the subtitle suggests, this text offers an extensive overview of the many challenges that theatre managers face today, and more importantly, sound advice on how to succeed in spite of them. Volz offers us in-depth insights into such real managerial dilemnas as: season planning, budgeting, and audience development and such life management issues as: goal setting, networking and surviving in the competitive field of arts management. Using knowledge gained through over three decades of work as a nationally-recognized arts consultant and university professor, Volz not only inspires his readers to make their artistic dreams into reality, but, like any good consultant, teaches them how to do so. Perhaps best of all, this advice is offered with an appropriate blend of humor and perspective, encouraging readers to pursue their artistic goals, and to enjoy the process of reaching them along the way.
