CCA Theatre Interest Group Survey

Theatre Interest Group Survey

We are opening the books! The Columbia Center for the Arts theater is now available to rent for individual performing artists, theater groups or teams, performing arts organizations and traveling/touring performances. We want to understand better how the space might be utilized to produce shows, host events, and continue to provide immersive performing arts experiences with a more open and accessible process.

Please answer the following questions and share your thoughts and vision for how you might use the space for your art. Multiple responses are okay – you can submit more than one idea.

We want to know -
