The Foster Festival 2019 Annual Report

OUR
AUDIENCE
Because we did not see an increase in audience numbers in our summer season
(8,500 in 2018 and same in 2019), our audience demographics have not changed
and the percentages remain the same from year to year.
Our Artist Talk Back Series was again a great success for the Festival. This series
continues to be an attractive perk for our audiences, giving them an opportunity
to interact with our artists and ask questions about the show following a
performance. We hosted twenty-three (23) Artist Talk Backs in 2019.
"Norm Foster's plays are like peeling
an onion. They address layers of
topics such as homosexuality,
homophobia, racism, misogyny,
orphanism, missed opportunities,
teen pregnancy, abandonment,
family breakups, unfaithfullness,
death and yet all interjected with so
much mirth. These are very human
plays with a very realistic plot and a
beautiful message exposed once the
onion is all peeled."
