Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Provide 25 youth ages five to 18 and over 35 adults the opportunity to be actors, musicians and support for the summer 2014 production of Wizard of Oz. Provide 800-1000 audience members with a high quality, live theater experience in their local community.The success of the project will be evaluated by responses from the audience, participant surveys and comments and audience/participant counts. Post evaluation will be done by the board of financial results, partnerships and logistics and overall feedback.

Measurable Outcome(s)

1128 people attended Wizard of Oz which is the largest audience our theater company has had in a number of years. Having 64 youth and adults on stage and over 20 additional folks behind the scenes helped us surpass our participation goal. 100% of the board, staff and cast members evaluated this show as very successful.
