75 community members will take part in this production either on stage as actors, behind the scene in set design, lighting, orchestra, sounds and in house management roles such as advertisement, ticket sales, etc. Based on survey results, 50% of the over-all audience for the three shows will be new to the Centre Stage Theatre productions and will comment that the show brought a new awareness of theatre to them.All audience members will receive a survey to fill out. After the last show, a drawing will be held and the survey picked will win $50 in Chamber Bucks. This will motivate people to return the surveys. Each night the artist will be surveyed verbally for immediate feedback. After the last show, a written evaluation/survey will be completed by everyone involved in the production.
We had over 60 people try out for the show; 50 were given roles, 2 became set and sound a light people, and the other 8 worked with the play crew every day; Everyone who wanted to be part of the show had the opportunity to do so, right here in their own community; We also had 10 orchestra members who were part of the production; 910 audience members attended performances.
