Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Continue developing new and innovative ways to fulfil our mission, while preparing to welcome patrons back into the theater. We track the number of participants in our virtual and in-person events. 2: Conclude long-term planning that is informed by conversations with stakeholders, in order to better align Ordway resources with our mission. Annual financial goals for admissions income, grants and contributions and project costs are evaluated monthly by Ordway senior management and the operations management team.

Measurable Outcome(s)

We welcomed patrons back into the theater! The 2021-2022 season at the Ordway was a gradual transition to welcoming schoolchildren and adults back into the theater. And we tracked participants in our virtual and in-person events. 2: Long-term planning continues, informed by short-term uncertainties. Work is underway to crystalize the Ordway's revised Mission Statement and Organizational Vision, which will inform our long-term financial and programming plans.
