Facilitated Strategy Session
The Actor's Express
Facilitated Strategy Session
Project details
What we need

- Facilitation of an intensive, one-day strategic planning session with staff and/or Board
- Note: If necessary, a follow-up strategic planning session may be scheduled
Additional details
AE is considering starting operations in a new part of the city. We would like to run a focus group of our patrons to determine what they know about potential neighborhoods and if they would move to a new location with us, all without tipping our hat to exactly why we are asking.
What we have in place
- We currently have Access to all patrons for survey or interview, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have a good understanding of the primary possible locations, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $4,465 , allowing us to focus energy on the current show while ensuring the future success of the company.
As we search for alternate locations for our activities we want to be certain that our patrons will continue attending our events.
Project plan
Our mission
Actor's Express is a theatre that challenges and reflects contemporary human experiences in an inclusive environment. We seek to jumpstart individual transformations through the shared adventure of our live performances, which range from daringly provocative to audaciously hilarious.
What we do
Actor's Express constantly develops new talent, pushes boundaries and encourages people to question their place in the world. Our work creates emotional connections between audience and artist, catalyzing discussion on the complex issues of the contemporary human experience. We stay one step ahead of the conversation - our audiences expect to be challenged when they attend our programming.
We firmly believe the relevance and vitality of the American theatre depends upon a continual infusion of new work and the nurturing of new playwrights. Playwrights are the chroniclers, critics and prophets of our times. They offer stories about the way we live, love, and sacrifice, and provide new insights into our shared humanity. Actor's Express is committed to championing the emerging voices of the American stage.
Our primary goals are four-fold: to nurture the next generation of playwrights through workshops, readings, and full productions of new plays; to develop and nurture Atlanta's artistic community through rigorous theatre training; to catalyze the dialogue essential to the vitality of our neighborhood and our city; and to enhance Atlanta's reputation nationally as a thriving center for live performance.
