From Las Vegas' scrappy local theater scene to Australia's steady post-pandemic recovery, creativity continues to thrive against the odds. Major funding initiatives, including the UK’s £60 million package and New York’s proposed tax credit extension, demonstrate the vital role government support plays in sustaining the arts. Additionally, we celebrate new beginnings with the reopening of NYC’s West Bank Cafe and Cygnet Theatre’s upcoming Performing Arts Center.
