The goal of the Icebox Radio Theater and this grant is to continue to grow our audience as well as the cultural significance of our art form (audio theater) by creating plays of artistic merit and high entertainment value. And to help our actors and artists grow creatively through these productions. We plan to evaluate our efforts through audience metrics (the stats behind listenership of our shows) online forms which give the audience the chance has input in our creative decisions, and local gatherings during which we can gather information from our resident actors and artists on how our shows can be improved.
Amounts were budged for staff, office expenses and performance fees. Given the small size of the award, we chose to apply the award to a single month's rent and nothing else.
