Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Mounds View Community Theatre will bring to suburban Ramsey County in July 2014 12 performances of the Broadway-style musical, Cinderella, Enchanted Edition, as reformatted by the great Rodgers and Hammerstein. This is a change of pace for our theater and we anticipate about 40% families with children in the audience.During our thirty years of summer productions we have learned from our audiences in many ways and one of those ways is through the comments section that is part of the survey form inserted into each show program. Also, our Treasurer does a detailed financial report for each show, for the entire production run, and for the fiscal year which act as a guide for our future activities.

Measurable Outcome(s)

The cast was projected at 25-30. However, the final cast group was 37 and everyone was very dedicated to making a great production; Ages were 8 (two of the girls) to 52, the King; There was a live orchestra, again all volunteers, consisting of sixteen talented players; 3000 people attended, plus the free Preview audience, and were given great joy by the 37 cast members, 16 orchestra players, and about 150 other volunteers, including the entire Board.
