Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

At least 1,000 people will attend the 6 performances. Participant surveys will show that our cast of at least 40 participants (both youth and adults) will evaluate the experience positively.We will evaluate our anticipated outcomes with audience/participant count and surveys. We will also gather post-performance feedback from email, Facebook, and an in-person post-production meeting open to our community.

Measurable Outcome(s)

With 47 cast members participating, dozens of volunteers helping, and 1471 audience members attending, participation and involvement in this project was substantial. River City Theatre Company's production of Cinderella was carried-out as we envisioned, and we are extremely thrilled with the quality of the production and the number of participants and audience members that this project served.
