Measurable Outcome(s)

Due to the pandemic we, the board of the Middle River Community Theatre, decided to withhold from all activities and productions put on by our theatre in 2020. We thought the risk outweighed the reward. This year, 2021, we were happy to be able to have productions with limited capacity and return to some form of normalcy through our theatre productions. This brought joy not only to our board and thespians, but our community as a whole.
