What's behind our AFFORDABLE TICKET INITIATIVE...
WE WANT EXCELLENT THEATER TO BE AVAILABLE TO EVERYONE IN OUR COMMUNITY...
We know many members of our audience would still come to the Harbor if our tickets were $5 or $10 or even $20 more, but we also know higher pricing would leave some people out. Why does that matter? Because the free exchange of ideas between people of different backgrounds is what inspires growth and change and compassion in a community-- and we could all use more of those. |
...ALL THE TIME....
Attending live theater is a unique experience, but it shouldn't be an uncommon one. We produce 3 diverse plays each season because we want to share them all with our audience - our Affordable Ticket Initiative has helped us build one of the largest subscriber bases on the Cape and inspired a growing number of people to see a production more than once. Live theater offers something new every night and we're excited to help re-instill theater-going as an intrinsic part of our community members' lives. |
...AND THE MORE ACTUALLY IS THE MERRIER.
Attending a sold-out show is special. An audience's size affects its energy level, participation, and overall enjoyment of a live performance - we want packed houses because they improve everyone's experience and we're in this to share our work, not to commoditize it. Plus, for a little theater competing on a peninsula packed with entertainment options, it's plain good business. Every patron we bring in-- or back-- is a potential ambassador for the Harbor and its expansive aesthetic. |
The Harbor is one of a handful of theaters dedicated to across-the-board affordable admission. A few other great companies (Mixed Blood in Minneapolis, Signature Theatre in New York) are doing their part to reinvigorate American audiences. (They also happen to reside in a major metropolitan area or have the support of corporate sponsors; we don't.)
We love operating a professional company in a small-town setting; we love that our community's generosity fuels its own enrichment. If you believe in the value of inclusive live performance, please make a contribution. If you're connected to a business or foundation you think would like to help the Harbor invest in our community, please spread the word.
Donations to the Harbor Stage Company are tax-deductible and go directly towards helping us create great art for everyone.
