Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)
1. Prepare and present the highest quality productions possible with volunteers and other community supporters. Evaluate public comments and ticket sales.
Measurable Outcome(s)
We had the involvement, participation, and attendance of people of diverse ages, abilities, and ethnicities. We evaluated participant numbers, student play numbers, ticket sales, community feedback, artist involvement, and donation and sponsorship revenue. To meet accessibility goals, we installed new carpet and handrails, handicap parking, main level restrooms, and enhanced the Web. We evaluated public response, number of patrons with access issues, increased volunteer force, and the variety of artists and genres in gallery exhibits.
