危機傳播對當代政府、企業至為重要，連非營利組織也不能置身事外，建國百年的搖滾音樂劇《夢想家》因經費高達2.1億元及招標方式爭議，是少見的藝文危機。此危機事件中的主體有二：文建會及製作單位表演工作坊，然而兩方在面對危機的態度截然不同，本研究以內容分析法探討在《夢想家》事件中，危機主體的回應策略與媒體效能；本研究主要發現有：1.此危機事件中，文建會以「否認」為主要策略；表演工作坊則以「不回應」、「降低危機衝擊性」為策略；2.由於危機資訊複雜又有兩個主體，兩者採取不同的反應策略，致使媒體報導資訊不平衡，文建會成為主要攻擊對象；3.此危機事件發生適逢總統大選，媒體報導以政治人物為消息來源的比例不低，也使事件從文化爭議演變成政治鬥爭，文建會主委最後下台。4.媒體記者對危機主體的回應策略並不滿意，尤其對於表演工作坊選擇總監消失、不回應的策略給予極負面評價。
