Project Grant

Connect individuals through a communal theatre experience that will build and strengthen relationships in our community. Allow the premier theatre for families in Central Minnesota to create a quality arts production that showcases the work and talent of local artists. Provide funding to offset the costs of production so that Great River Educational Arts Theatre can keep ticket prices at levels that are affordable for Central Minnesota families. Give exposure to the arts throughout region 7W through promotion and performances. Allow youth and adults who are cast to engage in arts learning through a comprehensive theatrical arts process. Bring together the skills and talents of local community directors, musicians, artists, actors and technicians to share in the creative process together. Provide an opportunity for individuals to gain a better understanding of the production process by volunteering with Great River Educational Arts Theatre (guided by professional staff) to do behind-the-scenes work including costume and set design, sewing and building, painting and planning.Ticket sales, audience surveys, artistic director evaluation, and crew and volunteer participation will be reviewed and measure against stated goals.
