Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Stages Theatre Company will advance artistic excellence by producing a diverse slate of youth theatre productions and education programs that will appeal to people of all ages, ethnicities and abilities. Through our audience database, Stages Theatre Company will be able to track the number of patrons we serve with our productions and education programs. 2: Stages Theatre Company will continue to explore Theatre for the Very Young and develop a production focused on this audience. Stages Theatre Company will use an internal staff evaluation process to learn from its first-ever exploration into Theatre for the Very Young. We will look forward to sharing our experience with other youth-focused theatres interested in exploring this type of work.

Measurable Outcome(s)

STC produced eight youth theatre productions and more than three dozen educational workshops, outreach and access programs, reaching 153,000+ Minnesotans in FY 2015. Using our database and registration information, we tracked attendance at main stage productions, summer theatre workshops, and off- and on-site education/outreach programs. 2: STC produced the world premiere of `Zen Ties` as part of our Theatre for the Very Young initiative, seen by 3,320 individuals. STC tracked attendance through our ticketing database. The Theatre for the Very Young program evaluation was conducted by STC's production manager, who has 20+ years of experience in early-childhood education and theatre.
