Our marketing for this production’s digital results exceeded expectations.

The grant has been invaluable in honing my skills in writing and directing. On a personal level, it has allowed me to contribute to my community and social justice in my own way, while professionally, it has enabled me to continue pursuing my art.

 [The] Enhancement of digital production processes and online marketing skills led to a significant 400% increase in audience for our digital productions…The project helped establish our company as a voice for Truth and Reconciliation in our community, and led to our presentation of New Blood: A Story of Reconciliation earlier this year, in partnership with Gordon Tootoosis Nikaniwin Theatre and Persephone Theatre.

- Stephen Waldschmidt, Artistic Director

Our show is our product, but instead of selling it to individuals we sell it to our sponsors and partners. Sponsorship income and partner presentation fees cover the expenses of the show and give us unrestricted revenue we can use to grow other aspects of our business.

- Mackenzie Dawson, Artistic Director

Actors now primarily market themselves through audition self-tapes and digital content. This grant enabled me to produce professional-grade marketing materials essential for this new era. The support from Creative Saskatchewan has been invaluable. It has allowed me to elevate my work and reach new audiences.

With the investment in marketing leading up to and during the festival, Creepy Boys was a tremendous success.

Scantily Glad sold out three performances during the run and filled the house in the final two weeks of the festival. Celebrities such as Hugh Bonneville attended their performances, the show was nominated for the Brighton Fringe’s Award of Excellence, and Creepy Boys won an award from the prestigious Summerhall venue for “Unforgettable Show.”

The biggest win for this project was a 43% increase in attendance over last year’s Christmas production. Additionally, we were able to tour to the Dekker Centre for the first time in many, many years, which will be a huge boon to increasing our audience for future productions.

- Ed Mendez, Burnt Thicket Theatre

Our Vancouver tour was an incredible opportunity to connect with peers and makers from this region, and to share our current work and the larger narrative of Curtain Razors as a company…These encounters are foundational towards future touring of our work.
