Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

By continuing our long tradition of creating music with fellow singers and sharing a production with an audience, we wish to add to our list of volunteers and performers, challenge current performers and the creative team artistically, and produce a show that holds strong artistic talent and merit for the region and the community of Pipestone. Audiences will walk away from performances with community pride and cast and crew with a sense of personal accomplishment. We also hope to increase audience attendance and performing arts awareness in the Pipestone community. Through our Box Office, we will gather data and information about attendance, and demographics of the audience to help us understand our audience better. We will also do a survey among the singers to collect feedback on what leaders can be doing better and what we can improve on to better fulfill our mission and our goals.
