Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

The funds will allow the Northern Light Opera Company to continue presenting artistically significant Music Theater productions that will give meaningful artistic experiences to audiences; to give community artists/singers opportunities to perform and grow artistically; and, to give community volunteers opportunities to enjoy contributing to an arts production. An audience survey will indicate a personal satisfaction of the production 85% or better. A watcher will note that the 90% of the audience was engaged during the production. Comments collected from emails, conversations, Facebook, etc. will be positive and show great satisfaction with show. Comments collected from cast and crew indicate personal satisfaction and that growth is evident. The Northern Light Opera Company Board will critique production and rate the production positively.
