(All photos from August Schulenburg’s iPhone) We’re back from our 6th Annual Retreat at the Little Pond Arts Retreat in Nazareth, PA. The Retreat is always an exhausting and exhilarating week, where we fit more theatre into a single day than seems possible and then party late into the night. This retreat was no exception…
This post continues on our updates on the changes that came out of our Annual Retreat – past posts have focused on Core Values, Aesthetic Values, and Membership Structure. As mentioned in our previous post on Membership, moving away from the two-tiered Membership structure necessitated the creation of a second relationship circle. We wanted to…

The first two days will be spent finishing our work from last year on values, mission, membership structure, and internal communications; then transition into a strategic plan conversation that will look at programming,…
One of the most useful exercises we did at our annual retreat was creating individual lists of core values in order of importance, and then comparing and quantitatively analyzing those lists. Why the italics for in order of importance? Because the results were truly eye-opening. Previously, when we had talked about our values, we had…
