Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

As a result of this program, our audience will be able to experience a character(s) about which they have read or seen in a movie brought to life and draw more interest into theatre production, both as actors and as technicians. Evaluation will occur by a participant questionnaire relaying their experience; an audience questionnaire about the production; personal notes submitted following the production and audience, actor and youth numbers.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Warroad Summer Theatre is an icon in our area. NW MN Arts grants received have allowed a small town on the Canadian Border to continue to produce quality productions in our area and to provide a form of entertainment for families besides fishing, hunting and sports. Our productions have drawn people from all over the state as well as from our close neighbors in Canada. Our theatre strives to reach out and bring wholesome entertainment into the lives of all generations today.
