ACHF Arts Access
Continue Frank Theatre’s 26-year history of producing accessible, high-quality productions that challenge audiences and artists alike. We will stage two to three productions. Post-mortems with artists to evaluate artistic challenges, and monitoring audience feedback from several channels will inform us if we are implementing our mission. 2: Frank Theatre will increase the sustainability and capacity of its organization by expanding staffing levels to match the volume of our work. By ensuring the admin position is a regular part-time position (minimum of twenty hours per week), we will evaluate its impact on the artistic director’s ability to focus on priorities such as planning and fundraising.
Forty+ artists grew from work on two productions, GOOD PERSON OF SETZUAN and CITIZEN; an audience of 2,000+ experienced work they had not seen before. Post-mortems were held with the cast and crew; audience feedback was received through post-show panels and audience surveys, as well as casual feedback face-to-face and via social media. 2: Frank went from 1.5 staff positions to 2.0 season's end. The hire of a full-time managing director in 3/17 greatly reduced the artistic director's workload. The hire allowed the artistic director to focus on her tasks, with increased time for planning and fundraising activities. The increased number of grant proposals and activities planned for next season reflect this ability.
