Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Through open auditions this project will provide artists and theater technicians with the opportunity and challenge of producing a play in a unique, intimate theatre venue. Audiences will see a play usually not produced in a smaller arts region. The Rep collects attendance data for all plays produced to better identify attendees and where they are drawn from. Plays are videotaped for purpose of evaluation of quality. Post-production evaluations help us to improve all aspects of our work.

Measurable Outcome(s)

We were successful in producing and presenting 9 performances of an award winning British play, introducing new artists to our stage and welcoming new patrons to our theater.
