57: Paying a Liveable Wage in Theatre with Ryan Guzzo Purcell

Can non profit theaters afford to pay livable wages? Director Ryan Guzzo Purcell joins us to talk about The Williams Project, a Seattle based theatre company with a core belief to pay a livable wage to its staff while providing a pay-what-you-can model for its audience. The company is six years old and is hoping to break into regional theatre status. When it does so, it will pay the highest wages of any non profit regional theater in the country.
