Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

With support from Metropolitan Regional Arts Council, we will create and perform a new musical production and a series of community concerts performed onsite for 15+ community organizations that will serve 33 singers/artists and approximately 5,000 audience members during the 2017/18 season. Goals for qualitative results are for 80% or more of respondents indicating we met or exceeded audience expectations. Qualitative results will be documented after each show by the Production team as well and community performance survey forms will be distributed and collected from each event planner. We will also count the number of attendees, ask for a show of hands for new attendees, and audience satisfaction as well as survey the cast of Alive and Kickin to obtain their feedback as well.

Measurable Outcome(s)

16 Community Gigs were performed across the metro with the following results: 100% of the presenters indicated our staff were timely and were prepared, that performers/staff were respectful, the performance was EXCELLENT, very inspiring, and that they would recommend the show to others. 85% stated the performance was better than expected. The Annual Show was a complete 2-week run sell out!
