At least 60% of actors in fiscal year 2017 will be people of color. We will reach 6,920 audience members, 2,550 low income or non-traditional. Measure audience through house counts, feedback/demographic surveys. 2: Help arts thrive in Minnesota by fairly compensating artists for their work and encouraging the development of high quality, professional artists. We will measure growth of artist wages in our organization and with Actor's Equity Association and survey our artists to compare our pay level with similar sized theaters.
