Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Our style of performance allows for 10 year olds to sit beside college professors with equal curiosity about a play or a discussion topic in our literature classes. We provide both entertainment and enlightenment, something for everyone in the family.We judge our success on the responses we get. We listen to comments made by audience and cast members.

Measurable Outcome(s)

This is our first staff hire and we plan to hire more over the next 2-3 years to move ahead in many administrative areas to have additional help with ad hoc community performances, and be able to do more and to definitely do more efficiently.
