Arizona Theater Company

In your article "Arizona Theater Company makes final push to save 2016-17 season (7/16/2016" it seems to me the Artistic Director David Ira Goldstein is a bit arrogant.  It appears he is willing to bilk season ticket holders out of their money and nefariously still collect ticket money knowing he may close the show and not have cash on hand to refund the money. Mr. Goldstein has carried a $1 million debt over to the next  budget year, without erasing that debt.  It also appears the Director is only interested in high dollar donors.  Other not-for-profits such as: public radio, TV, museums and other theater groups, use direct public fund raising, targeting the citizens, to support their programs.    I am a small dollar donor and supporter of the arts.  I associate with many people who support the arts and are willing to be small dollar donors to save ATC, but we have never been asked.
