The Bay Area Children's Theatre has announced it is suspending next year's season until it can figure out a business model that works.
BERKELEY -- Arts organizations, hard-hit by the pandemic, have been struggling just to survive. Now, one of them has had to make a tough decision.
"Art itself -- whether it's theater, whether it's visual arts, performing arts -- it allows people to escape from the world but also see the world from a different perspective," said Jeffrey May Hyche, who plays Gerald in the production."It also allows stories to be told and also morals to be taught through these stories as well."
She said everything is costing more, including the actors. AB 5, the state law that designated them as employees rather than independent contractors, made hiring them more expensive. "For sure, yeah," she said. "Personally, I've gotten several e-mails in the last three weeks from performing arts organizations saying 'We need to raise $3 million in the next month or we're not going to have another season.' You know, several organizations are in a similar position."
