Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Minnesotans participate in the arts because arts experiences are relevant and accessible to them. Evaluation will occur through follow-up meetings with the production planner's participant questionnaires on how their experience went while working with the Middle River Community Theater and a head count on all members of the audiences including youth and adults.

Measurable Outcome(s)

We asked the directors of each production to write up a summary on how they felt the productions went. We also had discussions with crew and cast to see if there was anything we should do differently and/or what they learned from being in these productions. The cast was able to learn more about themselves and what they are capable of. Our little town loves having theater as an option to increase the arts that are available in our own community and the communities that surround us.
