Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Continued artistic activity in ARTIST DEVELOPMENT, ROUGH CUTS, and PRODUCTIONS as demonstrated by numerical metrics.  We will offer one Composer-Librettist Studio, present at least eight ROUGH CUTS programs, and create at least one new fully-staged production. 2: We will refine our MANAGEMENT FELLOWSHIP PROGRAM, whose participants will continue to work in the Twin Cities arts community. We will expand the curriculum for our three Management Fellows by increasing their access to professional mentors and additional professional development activities.

Measurable Outcome(s)

We did nine Rough Cuts (including two art crawls), and nine staged performances of TWISTED APPLES. We postponed our Composer-Librettist Studio to this October. We offered a diverse variety of musical-theatrical experiences. All Rough Cuts included conversations between audiences and artists, and we held a number of talkbacks after TWISTED APPLES; Our Wesley Balk Institute included written evaluations. 2: We extended our 2016 Management Fellowship Program into 2017, because we did not have complete funding for a new round of Fellows in 2017. We expanded the curriculum in 2017 for existing Fellows by having training sessions with three professionals: bookkeeping, fundraising, and archiving. We also had mock budget tasks, meetings with funders, and more extensive one-on-one conversations.
