As part of the city's $4 million Arts Stabilization Fund, the San Jose City Council recently extended a $1 million line of credit to AMTSJ and a $2 million line of credit to the ailing San Jose Repertory Theater.
Nevertheless, with a $12 million annual budget, the bailout is only a stopgap for AMTSJ, not a long-term solution, Miller says.
Director, choreographer and actor Bair has worked as artistic associate for
AMTSJ and as the artistic director of Pennsylvania's Millbrook Playhouse.
