- $57,929 spent. PERFORMANCE: In 2024 Strike Theater cultivated a nurturing environment for emerging artistic talent in the Twin Cities, with a focus on storytelling and improvisation. We implemented a sliding scale ticket system to ensure accessibility for a broad audience, while also offering affordable rental options to producers, encouraging artistic risk-taking. We demonstrated a commitment to financial sustainability for artists by providing payouts to the majority of producers and performers, and by offering stage time to new artists, directors, and producers.
- $50,983 spent. EDUCATION: In 2024 we developed and managed an improvisation program with a student base of over 150 individuals, offering a comprehensive and unique curriculum that catered to all skill levels, from beginner to advanced. We ensured accessibility by providing classes at affordable rates and creating volunteer opportunities for students with financial constraints. We spearheaded a student-focused performance initiative to provide valuable stage experience. We cultivated future educators by offering coaching opportunities for students interested in teaching, while ensuring that all instructors were fairly compensated for their services.
