𝐄𝐧𝐠𝐚𝐠𝐞𝐝 𝐏𝐡𝐢𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐡𝐫𝐨𝐩𝐲 | Orpheum Theatre As Planned Giving Director, David researches, identifies, and helps secure planned gifts for the theatre. It is his duty to ensure that the Orpheum’s staff and leadership team are equipped to solicit and accept these beneficial gifts. In short, Planned Giving is a donor’s intention to contribute a major gift to an organization, beyond their lifetime. Wealth Engine summed it up nicely when they said, “Unlike an annual gift (an outright gift made for current use), a planned gift is for the future." This program has rejuvenated the organizations various giving campaigns and sets up a future of success for the Orpheum Theatre.

I am often asked why I left my performing arts studio, even though the pandemic was incredibly disruptive to our business, ability to offer performing opportunities, and lives. This gifted article link may shed some light on the subject. As it indicates, rising costs and real estate constraints are significant hurdles that are only increasing, causing theater companies to reduce programs, consolidate on season planning, and share space. This results in less work for artists as well as less art for the community they serve. We need MORE organizations to collaborate on space, co-productions, and community-building. We need more sustainable models moving forward, in order to provide meaningful arts programming. #theater #collaboration #community #sustainablemodels

“Forget about the shoes, forget about the money – what a glorious feeling, I'm happy again!” Singing in the Rain is a 1952 musical masterpiece and Air chronicles the career of one of the world’s greatest athletes, Michael Jordan. Since Michael Jordan doesn’t spontaneously break out in song during this movie, on the surface these stories don’t have much in common! But with the men who call these movies their favorites, Chief Executive Officer at the non-for-profit Oak-Leyden Developmental Services R. J. McMahon (Singing in the Rain) and CEO of Complete Fence Kevin Hohe (Air), we can find plenty of common ground. They both rank issue processing as one of Vistage’s best activities and they value our group’s shared fate (meaning when one member succeeds, we all do.  When one member fails, we share in that as well). #Vistage #Business #ExecutiveLeadership #PeerAdvisoryGroup

Theatre Communications Group upgraded me to a solo presentation at the national theater conference, and I love their description! "As nonprofit arts organizations we are fed the narrative that our most lucrative programs or productions are often the least mission-aligned, and vice versa: that our most mission-aligned work is the least beneficial for our bottom line. Out Of Hand Theater's story paints a different picture: we have developed a model that has tripled our income in four years while moving our neighbors to action on important issues and elevating the role of theater in our community. It’s a win for art, a win for business, and a win for our community... This session will illustrate more about this unique model, and generate further conversation about how to serve our bottom lines by centering our communities and harnessing our greatest potential for impact."

Addressing Domestic Violence Through Forum Theatre a two year project delivered by Intercultural Roots funded by the Peabody Community Fund External Evaluation & Impact Report Year One - By Claire Burrell. The "Addressing Domestic Violence Through Forum Theatre" project, led by Intercultural Roots and funded by the Peabody Community Fund, has seen remarkable success in its first year. The workshops, expertly facilitated by Drs. Almiro Andrade and Andrea Maciel, have promoted personal growth, relational confidence, and community cohesion. As the project moves into its second year, commencing in late summer, those interested in participating should stay tuned for further information. The full evaluation and impact report by Claire Burrell, along with a related video, provides deeper insights into the project's significant achievements and future potential. ‘The report presents how the pioneering arts for health and social change organisation, Intercultural Roots, are using Forum Theatre (Boal, A.1992) to engage communities in the question; how do we live with violence? The two year project, which is funded by the Peabody Community Fund, is bringing together Peabody Housing tenants and local residents to discuss, express and explore issues of violence and conflict in their lives and local communities. At the conclusion of its first year, the report locates how the Forum Theatre workshops are creating safe spaces and holding secure boundaries for people to recall, enact and consider their subjective and collective concerns. The evaluation brings forward how this creative forum enables participants to refresh their experience of relational connectivity, promoting deeper understanding of how conflict manifests in each others lives and deepening a sense of belonging to community. The highly positive outcomes in the first year, locate how the project has successfully nurtured personal growth in the lives of participants, enhancing relational confidence, social change and the co-creation of community.’ Please read the full report: https://lnkd.in/evT6wf_9 Year 2 activities in London starting around Aug / Sept '24 - call out coming soon... #theatre #theater #performance #socialchange #forumtheatre #communitytheatre #participatorytheatre #theatreoftheoppressed #Boal #acting #actor #theatrelife #art #artsforchange #education #activism #advocacy #socialjustice #creativity #mentalhealth
