It is our hope that this collection will continue to grow as the theaters participating in Main Street Iowa’s historic theater initiative and their partner Main Street programs add their experiences to it. The collection begins with profiles of several small historic theaters that have had success in one or more aspects of theater management, marketing, programming or collaboration. It then provides summaries of several dozen topics. Each summary includes a brief overview of the topic, with some examples and suggestions based on best practices recommended by theater practitioners. Acknowledgement This manual is offered by the Iowa Economic Development Authority/Iowa Downtown Resource Center/Main Street Iowa, with financial support of USDA Rural Development, thanks to a USDA Rural Community Development Initiative grant.
