Part of Clear Space Theatre Company's Market Study

Clear Space is in the early stages of mapping out plans for a future purpose build performing arts center here in Sussex County. As this new facility will impact many who call coastal Delaware home or who visit coastal Delaware, we are committed to a clear and transparent process that includes the perspective of members of the public.

This survey, which is in 4 pages, is a critical part of that process. At the end of this survey, you'll have the opportunity to provide your email address if you wish to be entered into a raffle to win one of five $50 Amazon gift cards as our way of extending our gratitude for your participation in this survey.
