A New Strategic Plan<br />
Portland Stage consistently creates productions and programs well beyond expectations for a theater of<br />
our size. In addition to periods of great artistic and financial success, Portland Stage has also weathered<br />
challenging times. To strengthen the theater, the Board of Trustees and staff have created a strategic<br />
plan to assist in positive forward momentum.<br />
The goals outlined in our plan include:<br />

ARE EMPLOYED<br />
PER SEASON<br />
• To increase contributions and grants, so that, like the strongest theaters in the country,<br />
over half of our revenues are contributed.<br />
• To grow our audience base to a consistent average house size of 80% capacity, providing<br />
the opportunity to extend productions while also increasing earned revenue.<br />
• To strengthen Portland Stage staff and Board of Trustees.<br />
By implementing these actions, we will align our productions and programs, document our work, and<br />
share our story with our community. As an entrepreneurial business, we will remain attuned to the<br />
constant changes in our surroundings, seeking out opportunities to do better work for more people as we<br />
continually assess our progress.
