Welcome from the CEO

David BaileThe last show you enjoyed at the Barbican Centre in London, The Playhouse in Durban, South Africa, JT PAC in Kochin, India or Lincoln Center here in New York, you were in an ISPA member’s venue.  When you were last thrilled by the high C of a singer, marveled at the technical artistry of a dancer or riveted by an actor’s soliloquy, there’s a good chance the artist was represented by one of ISPA’s artist manager members.  But that’s not all; ISPA members also include artists, artist competitions, funders, acousticians, theater architects and a host of other professionals working or associated with the performing arts.
