All Answers to the Quintessential Key City Players Quiz

 

Week Eight —  Which benefits would a new theatre bring to KCP and Port Townsend?

 

D.  All of the above

A new theatre will:

More than triple the seating capacity of Key City Players’ current leased space and provide state- of -the -art production facilities that will enable KCP to grow its artistic vision

Provide performance opportunities and production resources for other performing artists and groups.

Enhance Port Townsend’s image as an Arts Community, becoming a destination for residents and visitors alike.

Week Seven  —  What is the biggest limitation of Key City Players’ currently leased facility?

C.  It's way, way too small

We will allow credit for any of the answers, but “way, way too small” is the most descriptive answer. Our audience and artistic vision have outgrown our current leased facility which is available to us only on a month-to-month basis. A new theatre will address the growth of our audience and artistic vision.
