Theatre Communications Group upgraded me to a solo presentation at the national theater conference, and I love their description! "As nonprofit arts organizations we are fed the narrative that our most lucrative programs or productions are often the least mission-aligned, and vice versa: that our most mission-aligned work is the least beneficial for our bottom line. Out Of Hand Theater's story paints a different picture: we have developed a model that has tripled our income in four years while moving our neighbors to action on important issues and elevating the role of theater in our community. It’s a win for art, a win for business, and a win for our community... This session will illustrate more about this unique model, and generate further conversation about how to serve our bottom lines by centering our communities and harnessing our greatest potential for impact."

I have discovered a new form of team builder:

This moment of crisis in the field is being fueled by differing theories of change. Admirably, when our theaters were closed, there were siren calls to make fundamental changes across many areas of our organizations with the expectation that when we reopened, our field could be born anew. While closed, we had the time to reenvision our futures. However, as busy as we were, many of our stakeholders, including audiences and donors, were not in motion with us. When some reemerged, to their eyes, we had gone through a metamorphoses leading to institutions that looked foreign to them leading to confusion and anger. We need to acknowledge that many of these stakeholders have invested in our theaters for decades longer than we have been leading them. Milwaukee Rep is celebrating its 70th Anniversary this year. Many of our institutions are very mature entities. I do not adopt the philosophy that necessary change can only be accomplished from death and rebirth. Sadly, birth rates are much slower than death rates currently. We lose too much in that process, including thousands of jobs from layoffs and platforms in which we can support artists. Complex institutions have vast and different stakeholder networks which require a strategic approach to change that may be more evolutionary than revolutionary. Bringing our stakeholders along with us may take more time, but the work will be supported by larger cross-sections of our community, making it more meaningful, longer lasting and sustainable. #theater #theatre #theatercrisis #artsmanagement #theatermanagement

Did You Know? Before its transformation into the Empire Arts Center, it was first called the New Grand. The New Grand stood as the first theatre in Grand Forks designed specifically for showing motion pictures. Currently, the Empire is the city's last surviving downtown movie house!
