Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Accessible, high quality theatre productions will be provided locally for residents of the Delano area, with the musical staged in the district's new Performing Arts Center. ? More than 25 youth and over 40 adults of all backgrounds will develop their skills through participation in a high quality community theatre production. ? The cast and audience will experience community theatre that meets the highest standards of quality in acting, music, design, and overall production. ? The number of Delano area residents participating in the productions will increase by 20 percent since we hosted the musical in summer 2018. ? All participants, particularly those in the Delano area, will indicate a stronger sense of community and the development of intergenerational relationships by participating in the productions, especially in the musical which provides opportunities for involvement by entire families, on-stage and off-stage. ? Board members and production volunteers will learn and grow their skills through both on-stage and off-stage experiences designed to be artistically challenging ? More than 2000 audience members will experience high quality, live theatre locally. ? People in the disability and senior communities who may not access ?typical? theatre will experience the ?relaxed performance? format with Twelfth Night. ? People with financial hardship will have the opportunity to see the productions through complimentary tickets distributed through various social service agencies. ? The financial goals will be met through strong audience attendance.; Access ; Learning ; Community For the outcomes that are quantitative in nature, we will count ? number of participants, audience members, people who access free admission, and so on. We will develop a survey that can be used for the cast, crew, musicians, volunteers, and board members to obtain information on the outcomes related to their participation such as increase in knowledge and skills, sense of community, new intergenerational relationships, and the like. The board will use several means of gathering feedback from the audience. We will have a suggestion box in the lobby and will do an audience survey in the program. We also solicit feedback on Facebook and social media.
