Raising the Curtain: Technology Success Stories from Performing Arts Leaders and Artists focuses on empowering artists and performing arts organizations in theater, dance, and music to grow audiences and to increase impact through smart and strategic uses of technology. This book will help you effectively increase your artistic and administrative reach in order to expand your outreach to diverse audiences, without breaking the bank. In fact, you’ll be more efficient by choosing multi-function technologies that work for you. You’ll also see how advanced software can extend your donor reach—and ensure that you’re contacting donors at the right time. You can also maximize your organization’s brand by incorporating social media, AI tools, media streaming platforms, and more.

Inside, you’ll learn about the most useful tech tools out there, including a wide breadth of technology, from Tessitura to A.I., from the success stories of artists such as Emmet Cohen and Jane Monheit, and organizations such as Attack Theatre and The Kennedy Center. Even more importantly, you’ll gain the confidence you need to incorporate technology into all areas of your organization in order to define your path to greater success.
