Stephenville Theatre Festival Capacity Assessment Report
Strengthening Capacity for Cultural Resilience
Conach Consulting was engaged by the Stephenville Theatre Festival (STF) to complete a comprehensive operational and financial capacity assessment. In response to shifting demographics, rising costs, and increased competition within the provincial arts sector, the study evaluated STF’s internal structure, audience profile, marketing readiness, and volunteer resources. Through stakeholder consultations, data analysis, and best practice reviews, Conach developed a roadmap to improve STF’s strategic planning, governance, branding, and sponsorship development. Key recommendations included rethinking volunteer recruitment, formalizing board subcommittees, and creating new approaches to donor engagement and wayfinding.
Aligning Vision with Action for Long-Term Impact
The report emphasized the importance of aligning STF’s long-standing artistic mission with the operational tools and marketing infrastructure required for growth. Conach proposed actionable strategies to optimize digital presence, enhance audience engagement, and increase festival attendance, while acknowledging the seasonal nature of staff resources. The outcome was a clear, step-by-step implementation plan that positioned STF for sustainability, visibility, and enhanced community value. This project highlights Conach Consulting’s strength in cultural sector planning, organizational assessment, and strategic execution for nonprofit arts organizations.
