Abstract

This project explores and describes the process of performing arts programming, in coordination with community engagement strategies, in an effort for a performing arts center to offer a better and more accurate representation of its community. Though an in-depth case study analysis of a performing arts center located in a suburban community, this study serves as a practical exploration of performing arts center programming for arts administrators as an acknowledgement of the responsibility local performing arts centers have in creating a space for cultivating community engagement and support, ultimately resulting in authentic representation of the community in which the performing arts center resides.
