A Vision for the Future: Community Survey

Help Shape the Future of Swift Creek Mill Theatre

For more than 60 years, Swift Creek Mill Theatre has been a cornerstone of this community — a place where stories came to life, where neighbors became audiences, and where live theatre brought us together season after season.

Today, we find ourselves at a meaningful crossroads. We have paused our operations to carefully examine our current model and explore a new path forward — one that can sustain this organization not just for the years ahead, but for the next 60 years and beyond.

That kind of future isn’t built in a boardroom. It’s built with you.

Whether you’ve held a season ticket for decades, attended a single show, donated to support our mission, or simply know us as a landmark of this region, your perspective matters deeply. This survey is our way of opening that conversation — asking what you value, what you need, and what role live, local theatre should play in the life of this community.

There are no wrong answers here — only honest ones.

The responses to this survey will remain confidential, with no feedback attributed to any individual. We sincerely hope that you might take approximately XX minutes to complete this survey.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

This survey will remain open until 11:59 pm, Sunday, June 14. If you have any questions or technical issues, please contact Steve Koehler at skoehler@swiftcreekmill.com.
