Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

85% of the audience and participant surveys say "Yes" on having enjoyed the production. Feedback from the artistic staff in that at least 85% find it to be a positive experience. The evaluation plan consists of audience and participant surveys along with a count of audience attendance and community involvement. The board will evaluate the artistic quality compared to past productions and financially if the income covers expenses.

Measurable Outcome(s)

98% of all participants found the project to be a positive experience. 100% of our artistic staff would like to return for CCP's 2022 summer production. The Maple Grove Town Green personnel are welcoming us back in 2022 as their special event opening the entertainment season at the Maple Grove amphitheater.
