AD's and American Theater Company

This article from the Chicago Reader discusses the resignation fof 23 of the 28 ensemble members of ATC due to "adminstrative and artistic differences", then proceeds to go in depth about the divisions. The point I want to highlight is: should one person be the point 'man' to determine an artistic season? The equivalent in the comedy world is the club owner, who typically books the comics.

In other words, should that structure be reviewed? IMHO, it seems to me the best determination of what a season should look like would include a committee of, say, actor, director, producer, tech (set) person to start with. This way issues such as feasiblily (financially and physically realizing the play), artistic value and perhaps social relevant themes would be satisfied.
