Executive Directors Roundtable on Capital Campaigns
Duke 231
Is your organization launching a capital campaign or just thinking
about it? How will you be involved and can you help it to be successful?
What is the difference between managing a $500,000 campaign
versus a multi-million dollar one (besides the dollars raised)? Bring
these and more questions to our think tank of regional theatre professionals,
all of whom represent companies that have either just
launched, are in the midst of, or have just finished a capital campaign.
Join the artistic and management staff of Cincinnati Playhouse in the
Park, Know Theatre, and the Ensemble Theatre Company (ETC) as
they enthrall us with the trials, the tribulations, and a little hindsight in
launching and managing a successful capital campaign in today’s
economic climate.
