Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

In qualitative thought, our theatre will have produced 34 consecutive annual productions with this year's audience projected to be 2500 adults and 500 children. Thinking qualitatively, our Gilbert and Sullivan classic musical has probably not been seen by many of the audience and will be a treat because it was first performed in 1878 and has its own comedic style. There are two groups who we sample as an evaluation, the audience and the participating artists. We give every audience member a survey forms to fill-out with their judgement about the show, and we use gift incentives to receive a large response. We also hand deliver detailed survey forms to each of the artists and staff, with all responses anonymous to provide heart-felt responses.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Expressed quantitatively, it might appear as 2000,140, 23,15, 8, 2, 1. That is, nearly 2000 people had a wonderful experience with a 140 year old operetta, done by an exceptional cast of 23, an enjoyable orchestra of 15, led by a staff of 8 creative artists, providing 2 scholarships in the arts, which allowed 1 special "Sensory Friendly" performance to happen. Qualitatively, they loved it!
