CMaSites - Theater Audience Survey

Survey of Audience Willingness to Return to Indoor Live Theater Performances

As you may know, indoor live theater productions will be allowed to resume in Phase 4 of Governor Baker’s Reopening Plan for Massachusetts. This survey is intended to provide information for Worcester-area theater companies to reach decisions about resuming indoor performances in ways that are responsive to the needs and preferences of local audiences.

The questions below focus on the time period between the opening of indoor theaters under Phase 4 (whenever that might be) and the attainment of herd immunity (i.e., a vaccination rate of 70% or more).

All survey items require responses, except for the optional open-response box at the end, and a maximum of two survey submissions is allowed per household. The deadline for submitting the survey is March 22, 2021.

This survey has been created by Calliope Productions and is being hosted by CMaSites.com. All submissions are anonymous, and no email addresses are able to be identified or retained.

Feel free to forward the survey URL (http://cmasites.com/survey/) to other theater-goers you know.

The results of this survey will be shared with all theater companies and other entities participating in its distribution.

Direct any queries to calliope@calliopeproductions.org.
