Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

- Inspiring audience to ask the question how such an atrocity, the planned killing of 17 million individuals, could happen, - Audience reflection on personal bigotry/racism and how to overcome it, - Community dialogue regarding current U.S. political and social events (last 5 years, especially), - Anne' diary commentary inspiring courage and positivity despite her growing realization of profound horror outside the walls of the secret annex. Maybe the play will help strengthen the inner courage and positivity core of cast, crew and audience? - The coming-together of Shore locals and visitors strengthens our community fabric and the possibility of folks including others in their lives increases. - Increasing tolerance between people. - Income to present future plays, purchase theatrical materials, provide small drama scholarships investment in stage improvements, - Inspiring people to create in local theatre. - Inspiring others to st high personal standards - maybe even choose theare. THE WORD: * On-going cast/crew commentary during production, * Audience lobby commentary post-show, * Cast and crew post show commentary, * Neighborhood/family commentary. NUTS-N-BOLTS Using this budget as basis.... * Postmortem all-department evaluation potluck with leadership + acting representatives. We will hear successes, not-so-successes and suggestions to make better execution. * Income/expense review especially ticket sale revenue. We hope to hit cash income goal of 22,000.00. * We hope to at least hit at least $14,800.00 in ticket sales. * We hope to limit cash expenses to no more than 22,000.00. * We hope to have a fiscal year end balance of at least $10,000.00.
