JPAS has a Constant Contact opt-in subscriber list of 24k with an average open rate of 39% and a click rate of 5%. We send 1-2 promotional emails per week to our base, with special offers to certain segments of the list depending on events.
JPAS presents and produces an average of three performance events per month year-round (including Westwego and JPAC touring shows) with an average patron reach of 2,500 per month or a reach of approximately 30,000 patrons per calendar year.
JPAS has been dedicated to bringing quality entertainment, theater education, and live performance to all members of our community for nearly 5 decades.
The arts and culture communities throughout the country have been deeply affected by the pandemic and those that survived continue to struggle. JPAS has been forced to reduce staffing, cancel musical theater productions and other programs, and rely even more heavily on donations and grants because of still lower than usual ticket sales.
Your donation supports Jefferson Performing Arts Society’s artistic teams and productions, community outreach, and educational programs that occur year-round. Your donation will help to underwrite the following aspects of our work:
COMMUNITY SUPPORT
Help provide accessibility to the arts by supporting JPAS programs that introduce the performing arts to children, people with special needs, and seniors through our Chrysalis and Arts Adventure (student matinee) programs. We were able to reintroduce these programs in 2022 and continue to build and expand them to reach even more members of the community who otherwise would not be able to experience live performances.
ARTISTIC SUPPORT
Help underwrite the costs of actors, musicians, designers, choreographers, directors, stage crew, technicians, lighting, sound, costumes, makeup and hair artists, as well as script royalties and advertising for each production. We are proud that we build our shows “from the ground up” and provide work and creative outlets for so many talented members of our community.
EDUCATIONAL SUPPORT
Help make connections between our theatrical show themes and topics and our daily lives by funding photo displays, panel discussions, and film screenings for adults and preshow children’s activities, study guides, workshops, and more. These exhibits and activities enable us to share our stories with each other to build understanding and empathy.
VENUE MANAGEMENT
JPAS manages Jefferson Performing Arts Center (JPAC) on the Eastbank and Westwego Cultural Center (WCC) on the Westbank.
