Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

We hope to involve approximately 40 adults as artists, 600 residents, and 200 school aged children in our varied activities. Keeping our ticket prices low helps get more involved and therefore they become appreciative of the music, theater and artistry in our own community. We measure our success by feedback from attendees through conversation and surveys following programs as to the kind of music, theater and other art events that they enjoy. We will also measure our success by the ongoing support we get from the community by favorable response to new ideas and functions.

Measurable Outcome(s)

There was more involvement for the fall/winter activities and less for summer. Targeted 7-14 year olds enjoyed seeing live theater at the Viterbo plan and to act in performances of Pinocchio.
