Renegade Theater Company is committed to offering unprecedented opportunities for local artists to learn and grow in their chosen fields. This production will require the creation of new orchestrations, the building and development of an orchestra from found objects and the training of a cast in not only acting, but playing the score. It will also offer them the chance to work on a brand-new script. This is the type of opportunity that wouldn't exist if we didn't. This production will offer local audiences the chance to see a brand-new musical. This type of opportunity is exceptionally rare in a community like ours and local audiences would not have this opportunity if we did not exist. Renegade will solicit audience feedback in a variety of means (online and in-person) as well as collect box office reports and analyze them against past seasons and similar productions. We will determine this production to be a success if we receive favorable audience response and see a strong box office result. We will also determine this production a success if we are able to expose our local audience to a brand-new American folk musical. We will solicit feedback from our cast and crew. We will determine this production a success if we are able to realize our production featuring new orchestrations, a score played on found objects and a cast integrated into the playing of the score.
SHORT: We anticipate audience growth for this musical production, which has historical significance and potential reach beyond our core audience. This will be measured by box office reporting. We anticipate strong audience and community engagement and awareness for this production for the same reasons stated above. This will be measured by observable social media, traditional media and web presence as well as box office reporting. We anticipate an exciting and inspiring experience for the cast and crew in the development and execution of this creative and imaginative production. This will be measured by the solicited responses of the cast and crew as they are working on the production. LONG: We anticipate this production will allow us to reach new audiences and convert them to regular patrons due to the historical significance, the timeliness of our production, as well as the fact that we are the second company in history to tackle this show that received nationwide acclaim and recognition in its initial production. This will be measured by an expected overall increase in year-to-year ticket sales. We anticipate this production will allow us to grow as an organization both in terms of box office revenue and in terms of artistic capability. We will measure this by year-to-year box office reporting as well as observations of our artistic abilities and capabilities in design, acting, directing, musicianship and marketing. We anticipate this production will allow local artists to grow and expand their abilities by developing their skills as actors, designers and musicians. We also anticipate the offering of work of this type will entice artists to stay in our community. We will measure this anecdotally by keeping tabs on local artists and their work.
