Host Caitlin Malcuit discusses a New York Focus investigation into the state's theater tax credit that appears to provide monetary help to short-run flops and established hits that would likely succeed without assistance. She also highlights how Florida Repertory Theatre in Fort Meyers, Fla., and the Columbia Theater Arts Foundation in Washington State are finding innovative ways to stay solvent int he face of state budget cuts and fighting for audiences.
