Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Theatre L'Homme Dieu will continue to present summer shows featuring top professional acting and musical talent from Minnesota. Outcome will be measured by the number of new and returning patrons and by evaluations from the artists, our staff, and members of the board of directors. 2: Increase board rapport and community relations for sustainability and expansion opportunities. The outcome will be measured in the number of new board members and retention of current board members in addition to the number of businesses we partner with.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Theatre L'Homme Dieu presented 38 summer performances for 7800 attendees over the term of the grant. Theatre L'Homme Dieu uses the Ovationtix system for ticketing and CRM (customer relationship management) and used reports from that system to quantify the number of performances and audience members served. 2: Over the term of the grant Theatre L'Homme Dieu increased the number of board members and business partners. The number of board members increased by two members and there was an increase in the number of businesses who offered in-kind donations and paid sponsorship opportunities.
