I'm laying a pipe dream. Or, a Robyn's egg, as it were.
Welcome to the birth of the Bird's Nest.
Domain purchased: www.birdsnesttheatre.com
Meet me there in _xx_ years when it's hatched.
In the meantime, here's some thinks I'm thinking.
mission/values/vision:
the Bird's Nest 'twould serve the community through providing a venue for interaction and creativity. It would inspire people of all ages to be involved in the arts, and would showcase and nurture art and creation in various stages of evolution.
I see an affordable theatre space for both the patrons, productions, and proprietor. A workshop space for developing ideas. A home for community members to develop projects and maintain an ongoing conversation.
I value education, creativity, opportunity, growth, accessibility...
Forseeable (frightening) costs: RENT, phone/fax/internet, lights, plumbing, flooring, walls, mirrors, theatrical lighting, sound system and speakers, seats, signage, computers and software, liquor license?, storage, marketing
Must learn about:
small business loans
commercial real estate
non-profit organizations and grants
being a fearless entrepreneur
asking people for MONEY
how to pay oneself.
