520    "The year 2019 marks the fiftieth anniversary of the 
       National Arts Centre. In this new and revised edition of 
       Art and Politics, Sarah Jennings covers the highs and lows
       of Canada's most important national performing arts 
       institution over the course of five decades, bringing the 
       story up to the present. Art and Politics is a riveting 
       tale of Canada's finest musicians, actors, and dancers and
       efforts to put their art at the forefront of both the 
       national and international scene. Through over 150 
       interviews with artists, top officials, senior politicians,
       and others who affected the fate of the National Arts 
       Centre, the book recounts the organization's early years; 
       the impact of government monies first lavished and then 
       withdrawn, which resulted in its near collapse in the late
       1990s; and how in the past two decades, its CEO, Peter 
       Herrndorf, a gifted leader, brought it back from the 
       brink. The most recent transformations revealed by this 
       new edition include the architectural makeover of the 
       organization's Brutalist-style building in Ottawa, 
       responses to the changing cultural milieu in Canada, and 
       the launch of a national Indigenous Theatre Department in 
       the fall of 2019. Told through the voices of those who 
       created the organization, Art and Politics affirms that 
       the National Arts Centre embodies its motto: "Canada is 
       our stage.""--|cProvided by publisher.
