About me
Anthony S. Rhine holds a Ph.D. in business administration and both bachelor’s and master’s degrees in theatre management. He worked for the first two decades of his career as a theatre executive, running multi-million-dollar and Tony-nominated theatre companies. During that time, he also wrote the librettos for over twenty produced musicals, including several that toured both nationally and internationally, and directed scores of professional productions. For the last decade-and-a-half, he has been a professor of arts management, focusing his research on advancing and improving arts management education and its application in improving nonprofit arts organizational outcomes such as increased ticket sales and unearned income. His research has been published in the top-ranked journals of arts management, and he is author of the monograph, “Leading the Creative Mind,” the textbooks, “Theatre Management: Arts Leadership for the 21st Century,” and “Arts Marketing: An Introduction,” the monograph “How to Market the Arts: A New Approach for the 21st Century,” and the edited volume “Business Issues in the Arts.” He has also written two novels.
