THEATRE BRISTOL

Next steps are to continue to preserve Theatre Bristol's historic buildings, developing a strong donor and sponsor base, and reestablishing a staff with artistic director and executive director. The Theatre would like to grow the Board, expand its programming, and much more. The Board is optimistic about the future of Theatre Bristol and grateful for the tremendous contributions of the community.

Current strategies are to continue to demonstrate the possibilities of the Theatre's future with quality programming and a family-friendly environment. Reaching out to donors, sponsors, and foundations through caring volunteers will be critical to growing the income base. Additionally, the Board is evaluating possibilities for increasing performance attendance space, as all shows currently sell out and limit any greater income.

The Board is honored to have a talented community with skills in volunteerism, grant writing, financial management, sponsorships, and major fundraising, as well as valued partnerships with other theatre and arts organizations that lend even greater capability.

Planned performances have been staged, including all the efforts that involved arranging production crew, communications, auditions, rehearsals, legal and business arrangements and more.
