Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

With support from the Central Minnesota Arts Board, the Great Northern Theatre Company will continue to provide the opportunity for at least 80 artists from ages 7-70 and better to use, learn, practice, refine, and showcase their talent for 1,500 community audience members with two productions.To measure how many artists contributed to our community theatre, we will count all of the cast and crew members listed in the program. To measure how many audience members saw our shows, we will count the number of tickets sold at each performance.

Measurable Outcome(s)

In 2014, our community theatre served 1,546 adults: 90 artists and 1,456 audience members. In 2014, our community theatre served 71 children under 18 years of age: 23 artists and 48 audience members. We measured each of these outcomes by counting the number of artists as listed in the programs for both shows we produced and by counting the number of tickets sold for each show.
