We began a series of<br />
Constituent<br />
Conversations<br />
to share our strategic plan with Donors and<br />
Members, garnering excellent feedback<br />
and suggestions we are already in the<br />
process of implementing<br />
Portland Stage promotes access to the theater through multiple<br />
channels, including Pay-What-You-Can performances, discounted<br />
Rush35 tickets for patrons 35 and under, subsidized Student<br />
Matinees, and partner organizations that receive complimentary<br />
tickets. Beyond our Mainstage productions, we engage audiences<br />
through discussions, new play readings, and Affiliate Artist<br />
events, many of which are free or pay-what-you-can.<br />
During the <strong>2018</strong>-19 season, we will establish a Community<br />
Engagement Advisory Committee to focus on building new<br />
audiences and broadening our range of partner organizations.<br />
We continued to<br />
build audiences through<br />
Engagement Events<br />
including Wit & Wisdom, Maine Crime<br />
Writers, and our Rush35 Young Patrons<br />
program featuring pre-show parties with<br />
complimentary food and beverages<br />
