Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

The theatre's goal is to incorporate all interested members of the community and to bring the community together through theatre. The theatre aims to educate and entertain and to foster skills in all ages for the community. A Community Theater is one of a communities greatest common denominators.Albert Lea Community Theatre will measure its success by the response we receive from its audiences, and by the willingness and desire of persons wanting to participate in the process of making a truly memorable production. More often than not the response to one of Albert Lea Community Theatre's shows is that it was fantastic!

Measurable Outcome(s)

Our large audience was our biggest success. The number of children that auditioned and attended the play was far beyond our expectations. We feel future generations are essential to the continued success of our theater.
