Upstage's Opera House Goals

3 Year Goals:

Continued Community Outreach:
  • Continue to provide opportunity for community events and gatherings to book at the Opera House.  Upstage would continue to work to refine this process making it as user-friendly as possible.
  • Nurture current relationships with other community and cultural events that regularly book events at the Opera House. These events include regular yearly bookings from Creative Edge, Parker Mountain, etc. 
  • Maintain regular office hours providing time for the building to be open to the local and tourist populations to view the historic space and use the restrooms.
  • Stay in touch with the community to see that programming is tailored to their needs. 

Capital Improvements:
  • Begin a fundraising campaign and seek grant funding opportunities to look at development of the building as a whole to improve the performance space and maximize usage while respecting the needs of the historic register and the history of the Opera House. 
  • Development of the storage space off the tower room into a rehearsal studio / meeting room, freeing up the main space for potential rental and event opportunities.

Artistic, Educational, & Community Developments:
  • Increase the current Upstage artistic season of three productions to also include a number of play readings focusing on special interest pieces and/or new works.
  • Theatrical educational class offerings for all age levels, some at the opera house and outreach into the surrounding school systems / after school programs. 
  • Keep the focus of events brought in to stress artistic & cultural caliber as well as the quality the community has come to expect of the Upstage Players
  • Actively seek artistic events to enhance the community through connections in the industry.  These events might include dance, concerts, art installations, and the like.    
  • Cross promote to get the local businesses more involved in the opportunities the Opera House can provide.    
  • Work to further promote events at the Opera House to increase community awareness of the offerings as well as community participation. 

​5 Year Goals:
  • Explore development of the Cottage St. level providing potential 2nd performance space, classroom space, bar, dressing rooms, etc.
  • Promoting the Opera House in Littleton regionally as a cultural arts center increasing traffic and interest in opportunities in Littleton. 
  • Fully establish a theatrical training program for youth and adults.
  • Increase theatrical offerings to include 3 separate branches, a youth theatre, a community theatre (already in place) and a professional theatre.  This format provides opportunities for guest artists to educate and bolster the key community theatre elements that are the foundation of Upstage. 
  • Continue to promote the benefits of theatre participation including confidence boosting, community building, public speaking, cultural awareness, etc.  This aligns with our vision statement “Community Theatre: an essential part of life in our region.”
