EMBASSY

2018-19 ANNUAL REPORT 32 2018-19 ANNUAL REPORT

The Embassy’s 2018-19 fiscal year was a strong one. We began to implement our new strategic plan with a focus on regional and community collaborations, educational programming and – new to us – presenting (or buying) our own acts while also better representing the diversity of our community. We repositioned and added staff to better

manage our plans. This report provides you with information from the past fiscal year and the work taken to support our growth plan.

We were in the midst of a very busy 2019-20 when the COVID-19 pandemic hit. Staff, working remotely, were able to reschedule most events to later dates. We are implementing health and safety protocols for staff, patrons, volunteers, vendors and artists. We are preparing for events to include online technology such as streaming and are anticipating smaller audiences. We plan to focus on local and regional artists. We continue to follow our strategic plan by collaborating with community arts colleagues and seeking new ways to present programming and educational outreach. We launched a fundraising campaign, Raise the Curtain, to help offset revenues lost by the pandemic situation. Financially, we are taking measures to control costs and to stretch cash reserves. Your ongoing support is vital to our ongoing success.

Thank you for what you do for the Embassy Theatre! We hope you are safe and well. See you soon!

LEAVE YOUR LEGACY WITH THE EMBASSYThe Embassy’s Marquee Society was established to recognize and remember those individuals who choose to continue their investment and support of the Embassy Theatre after their death. Members of the Marquee Society recognize that investing in the Embassy through an estate gift will help preserve and program the theater for future generations to treasure.

A planned gift to the Embassy, whether in the form of a bequest, trust or appreciated assets, will ensure the funds are available for ongoing historic preservation and programing needs. Most importantly, a planned gift ensures your money does what you want it to do.

Learn how you can join the Marquee Society through a legacy gift by contacting Lucas Weick, chief philanthropy officer, at 260.247.9383 or [email protected].
