"Burnsville is about to embark upon a $20 million experiment: Can a publicly funded suburban arts center fill enough seats, and generate enough economic activity, to justify the cost?
The key to the viability of the [Burnsville Performing Arts Center] -- and perhaps of the fledgling Heart of the City redevelopment that it anchors -- will be whether it can keep drawing crowds after the grand opening excitement dies down.
"This is the beginning," said Ann Markusen, director of the Arts Economy Initiative at the Humphrey Institute of Public Affairs at the U of M. "Everybody is going to be excited in the first round, but the question is sustainability. Will people come back again and again?"

"Paris Calling will feature an array of drama, contemporary dance and circus productions at 20 UK venues over the next seven months.
The season is being billed as "a British version of the French performing arts scene".
Plans were revealed at the French Institute in London.
Laurence Auer, French Embassy cultural counsellor, said the aim was to encourage cultural collaborations and address the "uncertainty" between performing arts in the UK and France.
Speaking at the launch, Alistair Spalding, artistic director of Sadler's Wells, said the French should be "applauded" for putting culture at the heart of the country's political and economic agenda.
"This season offers the opportunity to continue our exploration of practice within Europe, which is sadly often missing from these shores.
"The artists in the Paris Calling season are testing the boundaries of performance and theatre which will inform both audiences and artists living in London."""Paris Calling will feature an array of drama, contemporary dance and circus... more
