KPIs That Keep the Curtain Rising

For theatre owners and performing arts leaders, success isn’t just ticket sales; it’s audience loyalty, operational efficiency, and sustainable growth.

At Growth Spectrum our consultants and partners help theatres measure what matters: from box office performance to donor engagement, from production costs to community impact. Together, we design KPI systems that reflect the unique rhythm of live performance. We can even help you integrate your systems or build a mobile app, if you need.

When Theatre Metrics Miss the Plot

If you’re experiencing any of these, you may be stuck in KPI Theatre:

🎫 “Ticket sales look strong, but donor contributions are flat.”

“Attendance is steady, but audience loyalty isn’t growing.” 🤷‍♀️

📉 “Production budgets are met, but margins are shrinking.”

“Marketing campaigns generate buzz, but not sustainable revenue.” 👀
