We had a fantastic year of growth in 2014 at the New Parkway, and hopefully, lots to show our patrons for it! In an end-of-year survey that went out to all of our newsletter subscribers and social media followers, we collected over 500 responses about how we’re doing and how you’d like to see us get better.
We found overwhelmingly that the majority of our patrons were satisfied or very satisfied in terms of the overall New Parkway experience, including programming, food and drink, our staff, prices, and facility. Hearing so much positive feedback makes us feel like we’re doing something right! It also gives us an opportunity to zero in on the things you told us could be better, including:
- The seating arrangement and setup of theater one
- Lines in the lobby sometimes getting out of hand
- Parking in the neighborhood being difficult
- Making sure our food and drinks are consistently excellent and arrive to you in a timely manner
- More vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options
Now, we’re brainstorming about how to best serve you and the rest of the Oakland community. We’re starting by launching a Kickstarter campaign to raise $20K in 20 days. Funders can earn lots of cool rewards including movie tokens, a date night, a special evening with our local crafters, and more!
