Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

To produce a sustainable high quality and vibrant performing arts theatre organization continuing to improve upon the history that has been built. The best source of evaluation is tickets sold and volunteer participation along with increasing the number of season membership patrons. Each show dictates the number on stage, but backstage and front of house volunteers are always needed. 2: To offer varied programming to the community with appeal. Anecdotal comments, surveys and social media questions will be used to ask patrons how they liked the show and what they would like to see in the future.
