Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)
The variety and number of arts opportunities in Northwest Minnesota will increase through providing a full scale production that increases the number of new artists on stage and in the audience. Evaluation will occur through participant questionnaires, personal observation of activities, follow up meeting with project planners, and attendance numbers.
Measurable Outcome(s)
Of the 20 cast members, 8 (40%) of them were new recruits to our stage. Our audience decreased this year by 10% due to a variety of reasons: choice of show, advertising, good weather, dates of show.
