Review for ARTS/West, Athens, OH, USA
For the limited resources, the budget, and the competition with theater at the big university next door, I give Arts West an A+. They are making a lot out of nothing and I can't wait to see where it is 10 years from now.
More Feedback
I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
the seats of the auditorium when I've watched a show, in the eclectic basement when I've enjoyed the art, and in the company of fellow theatre-lovers who've been touched by Arts West.
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
hire more staff and give it some more money. I would do a make over in certain rooms, I'd bring in more shows, and make it affordable for groups to use the space for practice.
What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is...
the grassroots level of art and the support of local artists.
The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were...
kind, jovial, enthusiastic, and passionate about their jobs.
If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...
give more people the opportunity to experience theatre both as attendees and performers (practice space would be cheaper, day care could be provided, the building could get a make over)
Ways to make it better...
the auditorium was nicer in terms of the aesthetic (color) and the acoustic (sound quality).
In my opinion, the biggest challenges facing this organization are...
Funding. Lack of marketing. Lack of shows that bring in the crowds.
One thing I'd also say is that...
Emily Prince is pretty darn awesome. (She's the director.)
