Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

At least 20 new community members will experience participating in live Community Theatre for their first time. 80% of community members that complete the post-performance survey will indicate the high quality production they experience in their own small home town theatre. Each community member will receive a survey to complete when they purchase their ticket. We hope to find out what people thought about the production, if they would like to be part of our next production or part of the board and suggestions for future shows. Cast members will fill out a survey after the last performance letting us know what they liked or did not like about their experience, what was the best part of being in a production such as this and what feedback they can give about their experience to help the committee improve in the future.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Half of those taking part in the actually production indicated this is their first time in an actual production. 90% of those in attendance felt the play was of high quality, affordable, and would attend again. 35% of those in attendance indicated this was the first time they attended a Centre Stage Theatre Production.
