Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

More Minnesotans, especially those in the Southwest Minnesota Region, will be able to participate in the arts.Achievement will be measured by attendance, audience reviews, and budget adherence. The project will be evaluated at the first monthly board of directors meeting after the close of the show. The artistic and musical director will be invited to participate in a review of the show. Following are the items that will be covered: Actual Spending vs. Budget Report; Box Office Report; Evaluation of the following areas of the production: Acting, Music, Set (design and construction), Lights, Sound, Costume, Make-Up, House, Audience Response, Advertising, Comments from the artistic and musical director of what went well and items and areas that could be improved.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Attendance was higher than expected. We expected 1200 to attend, the actual attendance was 1731. Community response was very positive. The fact that the second weekend had 170 more attendees than the first weekend is proof of that.
