NEW MOON: A DOG'S TALE - KCPT Holiday Show
Key City Playhouse - 419 Washington St, Port Townsend, WA
December 1, 2, 3, 4, 8, 9, 10, 11, 15, 16, 17, 18, 21, 22, 23
$3,000.00
52,000.00
$ 15 - $49
Key City Public Theatre (KCPT) will offer Free Student Tickets and dedicated Family Performances of their 2022 holiday production, NEW MOON: A DOG’S TALE.
This world premiere play is an international collaboration with Canadian and American artists commissioned by KCPT, and currently in development, with 20
performances scheduled from Dec 1 – 23, 2022. Best described as “a holiday romp through the best intentions of a family facing change,” the play promises an
immersive and visually stunning theatrical experience for audiences. This is an opportunity for students and families across Jefferson County to build a holiday
theater-going tradition in an atmosphere appropriate for children of all ages and their families. Offering free student tickets as well as discounted prices for
family-attendees, including an option for children sitting on an adult’s lap, KCPT's goal is to reduce barriers to participation for families who may hesitate
attending the theater with young children due to ticket prices or the often-quiet environment required of a live audience. Family Performances, are designed to
allow for young people to respond to live theater in their own unique and often highly verbal ways and include additional activities such as post-show photo
opportunities with characters from the play, and complimentary treats for children. Attracting students and families, locally, county-wide, and from throughout
the region is imperative to the growth and dynamic of its audience, as KCPT continues to foster art that educates, entertains, and engages our diverse
community.
While a wide cross-section from our diverse community can benefit from KCPT and its body of work, this proposal focuses specifically on families with children
. People who may otherwise not have been able to attend can come together with family as an audience to enhance the performing arts experience of th
e community. The accessibility made possible through Free Student Tickets and Family Performances allows KCPT and Port Townsend Arts Commission to fulfil
l their mission to educate and engage our community through involvement in the arts.

Explain how the City’s funding will support the project. If the project can still be done without City funding,
show how the requested funds will improve the project:
Explain how the project will either target Port Townsend/East Jefferson residents or, if the event is
designed to bring in visitors from the area, how you will advertise to those visitors:
If this event has received Arts Commission funding in the past, please explain any proposed changes to the
event and any change in the requested funding amount.
Please attach the proposed budget for this event.
Revenues from ticket sales of all KCPT productions are used to settle the cost of production and program expenses. At present, ticket sales and other earned
income contribute 55% of our operational income. Donations from individuals, businesses, sponsors, and foundation/government grants off-set the short fall
between total operational expenses and production/program revenue. Free Student Tickets and Family Performances significantly reduce potential earned
revenue in our theater that regularly plays to sold-out houses. City funding will be applied to both the promotional expenses for marketing these free and
discounted tickets, as well as to offset the revenue loss to provide increased accessibility to the performing arts for families and children who otherwise have
limited access to these experiences. Funding from PTAC will directly increase the number of free student tickets KCPT will be able to make available to area
students as well as the number of dedicated family-priced performances offered. The goal is to make a minimum of 300 tickets available to Jefferson County
students at no cost and to offer two Family Performances, serving 154 residents and visitors, that will encourage families to attend with their students as well as
increase accessibility for families visiting Port Townsend. If this proposal is partially funded, the projected number of students and families served may be
reduced, but access to the arts will still be increased over the amount of currently funded reduced price/free tickets. KCPT perpetually endeavors to find
additional funding sources to reach or exceed our access goals for this program.
Promotions for this production began on the KCPT website in mid-summer. Print ads and television promotions are scheduled for December. Print ads to
specifically promote Family Nights are planned throughout late November and early December. Flyers announcing Free Student Tickets, Family Nights, and Pay
What You Wish Performances will be distributed to all Jefferson County school districts and Home School Connections students/families
via hard copy and/or school’s electronic distribution systems. Three local teenagers are cast in the show from two different County school districts as well as two
professional performing artists/teachers in our local schools who together will be reaching out to students and their families. A number of school groups are
also being scheduled to attend performances.
KCPT launched its Family Performances program in 2009 and received a grant of less than $500 from PTAC for the pilot program. Since that time KCPT has
consistently renewed, broadened, and honed its policies and programs to promote accessibility for students and families. The holiday show offerings have
become a traditional avenue for increased awareness and accessibility for students to both participate onstage and as audience thanks to these efforts. Various
funders including individuals, businesses, and foundations have contributed to the programs’ success for more than a decade. We would welcome the return of
PTAC to the funding pool that helps bring our area students into the world of live theater.

Address 211 Taylor St. Set 3, Port Townsend, WA Phone 503 250 1674
Contact Person Gage Pacifera E-Mail Address gage@harmonicnw.com
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT
(If pertinent, compare the outcome with your own expectations):
Soundcheck put on about 15 events focused on showcasing local artists and supported and promoted many more
during the week of the festival. Events included musical performances, a visual arts fair, a community dance, a
poetry reading, a DJ showcase, burlesque, a craft beverage tour, a free shuttle bus and an extended Concerts on
the Dock lineup. Soundcheck partners included PT Main Street, KPTZ, Key City Public Theatre, Salish Sound and
The Production Alliance.
ATTENDANCE DATA
(Include comparison with previous events/projects) :
Attendance at individual events ranged from a couple dozen attendees to crowds of 250+. Over the course of the
week, Soundcheck drew out well over 1000 people. If we were to count more inclusively to include pre-existing
events we took part in (i.e. Concerts on the Dock, Uptown Street Fair) and other events we helped promote (misc.
shows at participating venues), that number is much larger.
