Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Increased artistic activity in artist development, Rough Cuts, and productions. We expect to hold one Composer-Librettist Studio, refine our curriculum for our Opera/Music/Theater Institute, restore our Rough Cuts programs to eight presentations, and create at least one new fully-staged production. These are numerical metrics. 2: Expanded and refined management fellowship program. We expect to expand the curriculum for our management fellows by increasing their access to professional mentors and professional development activities. Participants will provide written evaluations.

Measurable Outcome(s)

We achieved all outcomes as described: Composer-Librettist Studio was held May 24-June 10, curriculum was revised for Institute June 29-July 18, nine ROUGH CUTS programs were held October-July, and "Ordinary Days" production was presented October 2013. Expanded management fellowship curriculum achieved. Fellows were involved in two Composer-Librettist Studios, our Institute, and our "Twisted Apples" workshop; they attended two national conferences; all met with mentors and fulfilled projects as assigned.
