Spring Conference 2017
One Theatre, One Voice: Integrating Marketing and Development
March 29 - April 1, 2017
Los Angeles, CA

We built the 2017 Spring Conference around an idea that’s surfaced repeatedly at recent marketing and development conferences: The full patron experience. In an increasingly data-driven and customer-focused world, marketing and fundraising can and should overlap more and more. While individual relationships will always matter, your patrons support your theatre — whether through subscriptions, group sales, individual ticket purchases, small contributions or big gifts — not an individual department. How do you communicate with your audience and with each other? How do you promote your theatre as a destination both to attend and to support — and how do you actively make those two goals work together? How do programming, education and community engagement play a role? How do your patrons experience your theatre from the moment they receive your mailing, to when they arrive, through the show, to when they leave?
This Conference was designed for anyone who plays a role in the message your theatre and your shows are sending — not only Development and Marketing staffs, but also Artistic Directors, Executive Directors, Managing Directors and commercial producers and presenters. Discounts were available for multiple attendees.
We’ve just moved all our fundraising direct mail to the marketing department for the rest of the year and already it’s a revelation. Watching marketing look at it completely differently from how development has been looking at it, big score. There’s something about that idea that I’ve always wanted to tease out, where you look at skill set more than department.
-Phil Santora, TheatreWorks Silicon Valley, at the 2016 Spring Conference
I’m fortunate…that I oversee an integrated marketing and development department. One revenue generating department that oversees all the ways that we speak to and talk to and touch our patrons. We’ve had much success in doing that…. Over the course of the eight years that we’ve had this integrated department, we’ve increased our donor base by just over 30%, we’ve increased our contributed giving three times, and we’ve done that because we have throughout the organization managed how we talk to and cultivate our ticket buyers. I’m a big proponent of the integrated marketing, development, education, audience outreach, customer care department, because you remove that human tendency to silo an organization.
-Gregory Patterson, WaterTower Theatre, at the 2016 Spring Conference

9:30 - 10:30 am | Welcome Remarks and 30-Second Success Stories Pantages Theatre Lobby |
10:30 - 11:30 am | Keynote Speaker: Robert Greenblatt Pantages Theatre Lobby Robert Greenblatt joined NBCUniversal in January 2011 as Chairman, NBC Entertainment and reports to NBCU Chief Executive Officer Steve Burke. In this role, Greenblatt is responsible for all aspects of primetime, late night, daytime, and first-run syndication programming. He also oversees the Universal Television and Universal Television Alternative Studios, which currently producing nearly 40 scripted series as well as late-night and reality programs for a variety of network, cable and digital platforms. In addition to NBC primetime series such as the successful Chicago franchise, Shades of Blue, Superstore and all of NBC’s hit late-night shows, Universal Television also produces the Golden Globe-winning Brooklyn Nine-Nine, Emmy Award-winning comedy series Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt and Master of None, The Mindy Project, Bates Motel, and The Path. Under Greenblatt’s leadership, NBC regained its #1 status in the key 18-49 demographic after a decade in last place. NBC has won the last three 52-week broadcast seasons and is on track to win again for the ’16-’17 season. The network has also won five consecutive November sweeps and six consecutive summers in adults 18-49. And This Is Us – the biggest new hit on television – joins a wide range of leading reality shows that includes America’s Got Talent and The Voice as well as the two biggest sports franchises, Sunday and Thursday Night Football. A Golden Globe Award-winning television producer (Six Feet Under) and Tony Award-winning Broadway producer (A Gentleman’s Guide to Love and Murder), Greenblatt has also moved NBC to the forefront of live television events. He broke ground four years ago with the broadcast of NBC’s musical The Sound of Music Live!, which attracted 21 million viewers and has become a yearly tradition. NBC presented The Wiz Live! in 2015 and Hairspray Live! last December, with Bye Bye Birdie starring Jennifer Lopez on tap for December of 2017. Greenblatt’s relationship with Dolly Parton led to him producing the Tony-nominated Broadway hit 9 to 5: The Musical with a score by Parton. And two telefilms for NBC — Dolly Parton’s Coat of Many Colors and Christmas of Many Colors — each garnered 16 million viewers, making them the most-watched TV movies in nearly eight years. Prior to NBC, Greenblatt was President of Entertainment for Showtime Networks, where he supervised a slate of original programming that re-positioned the company as a leader in premium cable. He was responsible for such hits as Weeds, Dexter, Shameless, Nurse Jackie, The Tudors, Californication, Episodes, United States of Tara, and This American Life among others. Over his seven-year tenure, the audience subscription base increased 52% – to a then-record high of 19 million subscribers in 2010 – and more than doubled the profit. Before Showtime, Greenblatt was an award-winning producer of over a dozen series on various networks. The highlight was Six Feet Under, for which he was awarded the 2002 Golden Globe Award for Best Drama Series. It also garnered a slew of Emmy nominations, including four for Outstanding Drama Series, and it won the 2003 Producers Guild Award, three GLAAD Media Awards and the Peabody Award. He also produced two Emmy-nominated miniseries: Elvis for CBS (starring Golden Globe winner Jonathan Rhys Meyers) and Gregory Nava’s American Family for PBS. Greenblatt began his television career at the Fox Broadcasting Company where he ran primetime programming from 1992-97 and developed such memorable shows as Beverly Hills, 90210, Melrose Place, The X-Files, Party of Five, Ally McBeal and King of the Hill, in addition to the pilot for The Sopranos. In 2011, he received the Stephen F. Kolzak Award from GLAAD, and The Actors Fund Medal of Honor in 2016. Greenblatt is a member of the Broadway League of Theatrical Producers, the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences, and the Producers Guild of America. |
11:30 - 11:45 am | Coffee Break Pantages Theatre Lobby |
11:45 am - 12:45 pm | What Is "The Full Patron Experience?" Pantages Theatre Lobby Over the next two days you’ll be hearing a lot about “the full patron experience.” So how do we define that? How do marketing and fundraising best (or begin to) communicate with each other and with patrons in a unified and meaningful way? Where does the patron’s experience begin? Their mailbox or computer? Your lobby or box office? When they get to their seat or when the curtain goes up? Whose job is it to create all of those different experiences and ensure that they add up to a meaningful whole that represents your theatre in a positive way? Our panelists will answer those questions — and so will you, in a group discussion digging into how your individual theatre defines these terms. Moderated by Frank Stilwagner (Village Theatre), with Marisa Butler (Phoenix Theatre), Gretchen Feyer (Berkeley Playhouse), David Seals (TRG Arts) and Daniel Thomas (42nd Street Moon). |

3:30 - 4:30 pm | Breaking Down Silos Pantages Theatre Lobby How do you break down silos within your organization to integrate communication across departments — not just marketing and development, but artistic, production, education, front-of-house and more — and send a unified message to your patrons? We’ll hear from teams from some of our member theatres — and put them on the spot to see how well they really work together! Moderated by Courtney Simms (The MUNY), with Nancy Altschuler & Dan McMahon (Goodspeed Musicals), Dan Breen & Cheryl Farley (Ogunquit Playhouse) and Marc Robin (Fulton Theatre). |
4:45 - 5:45 pm | Content and Stewardship Pantages Theatre Lobby How can we rally our loyal patrons, donors, board members and artists into being our ambassadors in the community? How can we best use community partners, beyond hanging posters in their windows? How can we cultivate active and vibrant volunteers? What “shareable” content can we provide to assist our supporters in these tasks, as well as to engage and excite our audiences and donors? Moderated by Elisbeth Challener (ZACH Theatre), with Michael Ballam (Utah Festival Opera and Musical Theatre), MIchael Betts (Musical Theatre West), Wayne Bryan (Music Theatre Wichita) and Van Kaplan (Pittsburgh CLO). |

Do you feel budget, staffing or technology restrictions are getting in the way? We’ll collect some examples from our attendees throughout the conference, and our panelists will discuss clever and practical ways to overcome these obstacles — many of which may simply be matters of perception — and create a culture of “yes.” Moderated by Donna Lynn Hilton (Goodspeed Musicals), with Keith Cromwell (Red Mountain Theatre Company), Kim Glann (LA County Arts Commission), Amelia Heape (The Hollywood Pantages), Tim Kashani (Apples and Oranges Arts) and Ralph Weeks (Walnut Street Theatre). |

Directions & Activities
Cars and Transit
Despite Los Angeles’ reputation, there’s no need to rent a car during the Spring Conference! We will provide transportation for all scheduled Conference events. If you would like to travel on your own schedule (or miss the bus), the Universal Hilton and the Pantages Theatre are both easily accessible by subway (yes, LA has a subway!). Cars are also readily available via ride-hailing apps such as Lyft.
If you’d like to rent a car for a day or even a few hours, two Zipcars are parked by the Universal City Metro station. NAMT members can receive a discount on Zipcar membership.
Airports
If you’re able to find a flight, Burbank (Bob Hope) Airport is much closer to the hotel and the Pantages than LAX. If you do fly into LAX, please be advised that a regular taxi to Universal will cost around $100-115 with tip. A ride-hailing service such as Uber or Lyft will cost less. Shuttles are available to various points in the city from which you can take a cab for less, or the Metro.
Directions
Transportation will be provided between all scheduled Conference events, as outlined on the agenda. If you would prefer to travel on your own schedule, we recommend using public transit or a ride-hailing app such as Lyft. The Metro runs every 20 minutes. The only Conference events that are not easily accessible by public transit are the Walt Disney Imagineering tour and Disneyland add-ons.
