Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

1. Stages Theatre Company’s presence in schools, organizations, neighborhoods, and communities throughout the state is strengthened, and Stages Theatre Company is perceived as a valued arts provider and integral to sustaining and improving the quality of cultural life for individuals and communities. 2. The diversity of individuals served by Stages Theatre Company is broadened. 3. Stages Theatre Company is able to provide arts services/programs to individuals, communities, and organizations that otherwise would not have participated without support through the Open Door program. Audience and participant surveys, post mortems, financial and attendance performance, student testing, use of logic models, and online surveys.

Measurable Outcome(s)

1. For the 2011-2012 school year, Stages Theatre Company added several new arts and literacy projects in Twin Cities public schools with the aim of improving student academic performance. Through these partnerships in both the Minneapolis and Hopkins public schools, Stages Theatre Company served an additional 725 students with an arts-integrated literacy curriculum. 2. The students Stages served in its new arts and literacy projects in Minneapolis and Hopkins public schools represent new and diverse populations. In the Hopkins schools, 37% of students served were students of color. In Minneapolis, students of color represented 87% of students served. 3. In the past year, Stages continued to provide significant resources toward its Open Door Program, including free tickets and reduced tuition for educational programs. Through these programs, we have served over 20,000 individuals.
