On November 25, 26, and 27, 2016, our family audience will Increase by 15% from 2015 for a total of 500. By August 25, 2015, twenty new volunteers will be recruited to assist with the production, including hospitality, set construction, props, and costuming. By November 27, 2016 Minnesota Folklore Theater will increase the numbers of contact emails 10% and increase contacts for social media by 20%. Audience figures will be collected and evaluated by headcount at performance. All current volunteers are listed in our volunteer database. Names of new volunteers will be recorded and added to that database. Patrons will be able to sign up for the e-mail list and/or social media at the concerts or through our website. New contacts will be tracked and counted.
