Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Recognition of both professional and community-based quality production values. Strong attendance, positive feedback, and artist participation (key indicators) will be tracked by ticket sales, memberships, attendance/non-ticketed events, audience surveys, and number of artists. 2: Maintain and create new arts, business, and education partnerships that utilize arts programming to serve the needs of the community. Successful fulfillment of partnership objectives (key indicator) will be measured primarily by partner satisfaction and rates of participation by community members.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Strong attendance throughout the season, the draw of highly skilled artists to Theatre programs, and consistently excellent reviews reflect recognition of product quality. Despite extensive construction at Rochester Civic Theatre for most of the season, production attendance was healthy and professional artist participation remained vigorous. Feedback lauded outstanding capabilities of skilled volunteer performers. 2: Partnerships addressed arts in health and social well-being, awareness of the value of human differences, and multi-generational arts opportunities. Rochester Civic Theatre received reward recognition for collaboration; turnout for monthly community dialogue doubled from FY2015; the first regional youth arts congress drew over 200 students; arts in health programming gained new support.
