• Dramaturgy
• Grantwriting
• Entertainment Contracting
• Sponsor Development
• AudienceMap© Patron Analytics
• Public Relations Campaigns

Your organization is probably seeing audiences shrink since the start of the COVID era and the growth of at-home streaming content. We can help you develop a strategy for holding unique and exciting special events that check all the boxes (fundraising, friend-raising, fan-raising, social FOMO, VIP appearances). 

Theatre should be an emotional journey for every audience member, but the logistics of getting a show mounted can distract artists and marketers from “why” that show was chosen. We can help your artists discover a cultural imperative behind every show, from new, local, developmental works, to well-known annual favorites. We offer group-based dramaturgy, one-on-one script doctor feedback, and audience engagement tools.

Writing grant proposals and designing funded programs can be terrifying for a beginner, and especially when covering many operational priorities. Post-award outcomes reporting can defeat even the most creative mind. We’ll help develop your program pitch, guide or manage your group’s submission, and assist with post-award program implementation, to make grantwriting a joy. As Bob Brien said, “You gotta be in it to win it”.

Do you know who your audience are, where they live, what the care about, why they support you? 

Spaghetti on the wall approaches can cost an organization critical resources without yielding any market intelligence.  We specialize in deep analytics for audience targeting by household income, life stage, geography and habits, and we can use this data to inform your advertising reach, your program development, and your social impact reporting for grantors.

Your organization works hard to capture press attention, but it can seem like your best shows get overlooked or edged out by more unusual coverage.  Paying a full-time social media person hasn’t enlarged your reach, and investing in “engagement” content on socials may feel like it you’re competing with your own live offerings to satisfy patron curiosity remotely. We can help you find the balance between your many target audiences, create click through strategies that generate revenue, and create an integrated brand story that reflects audience sentiment.

Your venue is comfortable and well-run, but to pay the bills and keep the audiences growing and interested, you need to find a variety of event programming. Enter “The Contract”, that word that scares some and bores others. As experts in a variety of contracts, from co-producing partnerships, to turn-key rental agreements, to commercial tours and residencies, we can help you conquer the fear of “The Contract”, which starts with asking key questions, “are we doing this only for the money?”, and “how does this event reinforce our own mission?”. That boilerplate contact you always rely on may be more limiting than you think.

The word “Friend-raising” gets overused at times. Sustainable sponsor development entails understanding the unique business challenges of your partner firms, and crafting two-way sponsor propositions that add value for both partners, not simply one-time transactional exchanges. We can help you identify, position and retain  the right sponsors for projects, and build those relationships’ value over time, so that your organization becomes a trusted pillar of your local business community, not a “money pit” reputation that careless sponsor sales can produce.
