Project Overview

Patrons obtained tickets to see Theatreworks Production of Charlotte's Web at the REIF Center. The program was based on E.B. White's loving story of the friendship between a pig named Wilbur and a little gray spider named Charlotte. Wilbur has a problem: how to avoid winding up as pork chops! This treasured tale featured mad-cap and endearing farm animals and explored bravery, selfless love, and the true meaning of friendship.

Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

The intended outcome of the arts program is to allow patrons the opportunity to visit various venues to enjoy a wide variety of programs that they would otherwise not have access to attend.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Surveys were distributed to participants at all programs. Only 3% of the patrons with tickets said they would be able to attend this event if tickets had not been provided. 47% said they would not be able to attend this program without the free tickets. 50% said they were not sure if they could attend this program without the free tickets.

Source of Additional Funds

15 libraries provided tickets to patrons of all ages. Approximately 15 regional newspapers provided marketing through press releases, photos and interviews with artists and performers. REIF Center offered tickets to ALS at reduced prices from what patrons would spend at the door.
