Vivid Stage’s Mission

The Vivid Stage professional ensemble of actors builds community with our audience by sharing contemporary, life-affirming stories that challenge, energize and entertain.

 

As an ensemble theater, Vivid works with a core company of professional local actors, who return each season with the opportunity to explore new productions and works.  Vivid Stage also enriches the lives of children through theater, both by providing arts education programming and by offering young people opportunities to perform in their own projects.  One of our special interests is serving the senior population, with outreach and in-house programs designed specifically for them.

 

Vivid Stage is a 501(c)(3) organization incorporated under the laws of the State of New Jersey. All contributions are tax-deductible to the full extent allowed by law.

 

Market Size and Demographics

Vivid attracts audience members from all over northern New Jersey, particularly from Summit and the surrounding area, including Union, Morris, Essex, Hudson and Morris counties.  Our theater space seats approximately 120, and a successful production run can reach up to 900 people.  Vivid Stage audience members are generally consistent theater-goers, with a broad interest in arts and culture.  Most are between the ages of 25 and 65 and tend to be well-educated and middle- or upper-middle class.

 

Budget and Sustainability

Your support will allow Vivid Stage to continue its work for its production season, and to expand its outreach and marketing activities.  Vivid is working to build a diverse funding base that includes not only corporate and foundation grants, but also significant revenue from earned income (ticket sales) and individual donors.  We have raised a significant portion of our funds from grants and private donations over the years and are always striving to expand that in our Summit home.
