To produce a high quality series that is well attended and spoken highly of yet will evoke conversation by series goers. We want our patrons to feel as though they have received value for the price of the ticket, been educated and feel that they have been allowed to participate in the event through outreach and education.As we sign patrons up for our Center Series we will be acquiring email addresses allowing us to use the ôsurvey monkeyö online service to ask patrons several simple questions regarding our series performances. A sample of those questions could include: did you feel the event was worth value of the ticket? Would you recommend this performance to friends? Were you treated in a professional and courteous manner? We will also glean information from our Facebook page.
This project was incredibly beneficial to the community. We are an economically depressed area, highly conservative and sports oriented. By providing the International Artists in the fashion of our season patrons and the community were exposed to new art forms and will weave them into their lives. Citizens are demanding artistically high quality entertainment even for our free concerts in the park. What a great problem!
