Cox Elaine - Score: 97.000

Like to see how you are engaging families and students through reduced ticket prices and the apprentice program.

Thank you for including your economic impact, and for working to hire local artists.

Your impact section is particularly strong. Love the tie-ins to Earth Day, Mother's Day and more. I feel that helps you reach a broader audience when you show them the relations to their every-day lives.

Your attachments sound amazing. I listened to "Too Hot to Handel" multiple times.

Applicant has effective mission statement and highlights a multitude of partnerships. I would like to see more detailed objectives and measures of success.

Applicant does a nice job of highlighting education and outreach impact.

Reviewer would like to see more detail in the evaluation section of grant. Applicant manages the evidence of fiscal stability.

Palkhivala Tania - Score: 94.000

It would be useful to know why there was such a swing in finances from the Last Completed Fiscal Year and the Current Fiscal Year.

How is it possible that there will be 8 proposal events but only 6 opportunities for public participation?

Proposal wold be strengthened with measurable outcomes, e.g. Audience Development: Increase audience by X percent (from A to B) between (date) and (date); X percent of student served through education outreach in the schools will demonstrate an increase in knowledge about (metric). Impact would be deepened with outreach to private schools as well.

Rusconi Ellen - Score: 82.000

Goals could be stated in a clearer way

Objectives are measurable

Partnerships are detailed and comprehensive

Timeline is detailed though producing details are scarce

Impact audience numbers do not total

economic impact numbers are provided

fiscal condition could be more detailed

Rapid increase in budget between 2016 and 2018

Budgets are detailed

Accessibility - Board notes are good but would be stronger if this section were more comprehensive - logos? Wheelchair locations?  Pricing? varying ages of audience?

I don't see any ADA logos on season brochure (so if it's there, it's not obvious)
