Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

The quality, type, and number of arts opportunities in the state and the organizations that offer them increases through being able to increase attendance and participation in Warroad Summer Theatre productions as well as update costumes and props. Evaluation will occur through an audience questionnaire; notes related to personal observation; and audience, artist participant, and youth counts.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Using charting and ticket sale methodology we were able to gain an accurate representative of the number of attendees for various events. Taking reservations also allowed for accounting of seats. We were able to utilize our stated methods to measure data. The community was enriched by the events offered. Children and adults were able to learn new skills and build relationships. Families were offered an opportunity to watch high quality entertainment that created bonding experiences and memories.
