State of Community Theatre

Community Theatre Trends: A Survey
A Detailed Companion to  "The State of Community Theatre," AACT Spotlight, Spring 2024

The past three years have seen theatre companies of all sizes adapting to new ways of engaging audiences, volunteers, and learners. So, how are community theatres faring in the process? What are the issues that affect them most, and where are the areas of hope—and occasional triumph?

To answer those questions, AACT Board Member Michael Cochran—Executive Director of Market House Theatre in Paducah, Kentucky— created a survey that would shed some light on the state of community theatre today.

Survey results were published in the Spring 2024 editioin of AACT Spotlight.  More detailed information can be found via the links below.
