Butterworth’s 2019 Tony Award-winning THE FERRYMAN. This unforgettable highly acclaimed thriller takes

FERRYMAN will open on February 4th, 2023 and will be the official grand re-opening of the Dea Hurston New
Village Arts Center in the heart of Carlsbad Village. The production will bring national and potentially

Previous Project Success:
If your organization has completed a similar project, please provide details of the project and why it was
successful.
New Village Arts is about to begin its 21st year of professional theatre in Carlsbad, producing more than 100
plays and musicals for the community. We have built our reputation as one of the best theater companies in
San Diego and are recognized as a leader in equity, diversity and inclusion in our region.
NVA has produced nearly 30 San Diego and Regional premiere productions in the past. We search out the
newest plays released in New York, Chicago and other larger cities to bring to San Diego County. This season,
in addition to the Regional premiere of THE FERRYMAN, we will be producing the San Diego premiere of Jen
Silverman’s dark comedy THE ROOMMATE. Past regional premieres include a new musical adaptation of
AROUND THE WORLD IN EIGHTY DAYS, Lauren Gunderson’s holiday show MISS BENNET: CHRISTMAS AT
PEMBERLEY and Tony Meneses’ unforgettable GUADALUPE IN THE GUEST ROOM.
As another example of the community support for New Village Arts, we are pleased to share that we have
already exceeded our season subscription goal for 2022-23. After not producing a season for two years
because of the COVID-19 pandemic, it has been very reassuring to see that the support from our patrons has
not diminished and will grow even stronger in the coming year with the re-opening of the Dea Hurston New
Village Arts Center.
Project Distinction:
What makes this project distinctive?
New Village Arts is the only professional theatre and arts company in Carlsbad. We are proud to bring the
finest San Diego-based actors, directors, designers and crew to our intimate stage in Carlsbad Village.
The re-naming of our facility to the Dea Hurston New Village Arts Center is breaking new ground. We will be
the first arts center in the United States outside of New York City to be named after a Black woman. Dea
Hurston has been a major arts supporter in San Diego for over thirty years and in later life has also become a
very successful playwright. We are honored to be re-opening the arts center in her name.
Securing the rights to produce Jez Butterworth’s THE FERRYMAN is a very big coup for Carlsbad and our
region. The play sold-out its first run in London in one day, then transferred to a very successful run on the
West End before opening on Broadway in 2018 and running for over 300 performances, winning the 2019
Tony Award for Best New Play. New Village Arts will be the first theatre company in the world to produce the
show outside of London and New York City.
With the support of the Carlsbad Cultural Arts Office, New Village Arts will be able to build off the increased
exposure from THE FERRYMAN to bring even more patrons to experience thrilling art in the center of
Carlsbad Village.

Project Goals:
What are the goals (outputs and/or outcomes) of the project? How will you measure your goals?
The most important goals for New Village Arts are that we are following and fulfilling our mission of creating
adventurous artistic experiences to awaken the human spirit and that the professional quality of our shows
remain at the highest level while creating a safe and welcoming environment for artists to thrive.
For these performances, we will track the critical responses from local and national theatre critics as well as
track the number of mentions NVA receives in the media for THE FERRYMAN and the production to be
determined in the following season. This will help us with our goal of expanding our audience base, both in
numbers and in diversity.
At the conclusion of each performance, audience members will be emailed a survey which requests their
responses to the show they experienced as well as tracks demographic information including age, ethnicity,
and residence. This data will be analyzed by the staff to ensure that we are meeting the needs of the
community.
Our box office system will track audience numbers and repeat ticket buyers which can be reported to
granting organizations and used to analyze marketing and public relations strategies.
New this year, NVA also plans to run anonymous surveys with the artists who work with us to ensure that we
are creating the most inviting and safe place possible for the people who share their artistry. These surveys
will be used to make upgrades and improvements as needed.
Target Population:
Who is your target population and why? How will you reach them?
NVA is a cultural gathering space for our community and our target population are residents of North County
San Diego. We strongly believe in serving our community and providing access to artistic experiences.
Everyone who lives in our beautiful area deserves to have access to the arts, and NVA does everything
possible to ensure that happens.
It is important to us that we maintain the connection with our current audience, which tends towards older,
retired people. Our patrons have become part of our family and have helped us survive the pandemic. We are
incredibly grateful for them and will continue to ensure that they consider NVA their artistic home. We also
recognize the importance of expanding our base to more of North County and beyond.
For THE FERRYMAN, NVA is proud to partner with Davidson & Choy Publicity. The company is donating their
time to work with NVA because they believe in the importance of the mission and the impact of THE
FERRYMAN. Davidson & Choy has built a national reputation providing publicity services to the performing
arts and live entertainment. They provide a full range of services, including the placement of stories and
interviews in print, television, radio, and online media in both local markets and national outlets; soliciting
reviews; supervising video shoots and photography of productions; advising on publicity advertising,
marketing, and promotional strategies.
Project Partnerships:
If applicable, please provide names and brief descriptions of roles for any partners in this project. This would
include any organizations, artists or individuals involved in your project that are not employed or affiliated with the
applying organization.

New Village Arts is partnering with California Lawyers for the Arts and its Designing Creative Futures
program to bring a new part-time employee to the staff to help prepare for THE FERRYMAN and the rest of
the season. This is a four-month job training internship program for formerly incarcerated individuals who
wish to pursue careers in the arts. It offers the unique opportunity for returning residents to work closely
with arts organizations through paid, part-time internships. Participants will learn a variety of skills
associated with careers in the arts and gain mentorship from people who are leaders in their respective
fields.
Partner Resumes:
If applicable, you may upload any resumes of teaching artists, artists or any other partners in the proposed project
here. Please consolidate into one PDF if possible. *Feel free to contact the Cultural Arts Office at 442-339-2090 or
email arts@carlsbadca.gov should you need assistance.

Organization Changes/Challenges/Circumstances:
What special circumstances, challenges or changes have affected your organization? What impact has this had on
your organization?
As with our entire community, these past two years have been challenging times. The COVID-19 pandemic
put a halt to all of our plans in March of 2020 and we are still adjusting to the needs and changes of the times.
We have learned to be very flexible and create alternate plans for every event as needed. We also have an
even greater appreciation for our artists and patrons because of the time we were forced to spend apart.
In addition to the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic, we have also faced challenges with the renovation of
our home facility. As is the case with most building projects, our construction process has gone on longer than
we had hoped and is significantly more expensive. New Village Arts has responded by increasing our
fundraising practices and finding alternate locations, like Oceanside Theatre Company and The Flower Fields,
to continue to pursue our mission and produce our shows.
Over the past two years we have also changed over the majority of our staff. Some left for higher paying
opportunities in the for-profit world or in the larger companies in San Diego and others recognized that their
priorities had changed during the pandemic. We now have a young, passionate, diverse staff that is ready to
bring NVA into the next twenty years.
