Carr Kevin - Score: 91.000

very broad mission statement for a community theater

good marketing plan

Administrative salaries seem high given the size of the budget. Is that sustainable?

Conner Tracey - Score: 92.000

Missed info on Applicant Status, Institution, Race, Discipline

Excellence - Your objectives should be measurable. "Increase attendance by 5%" is good. There is room to elaborate on your activities such as the titles of your shows and descriptions of your classes, art exhibits, and Summer Theatre program.

Management - Congratulations on paying off your mortgage! It's great to see your rental income, which will help pay for capital improvements.

Dale Mary-Margaret - Score: 84.000

Some of the initial questions under Contacts were left blank.

Proposal clearly demonstrates commitment to locals and tourists, by providing a wide-array of arts and cultural activities. 

If there is a commitment to presenting diversity of voices, since it seems that there is a very diverse audience, would appreciate seeing that reflected in proposal.

Suggest exploring advertising through Facebook to target specific groups of visitors and Keys locals.

Would be good to also include a sense of how many tourists participate in programs in addition to community members to adequately evaluate if appropriate number of people are impacted.

Congratulations on outright owning your space!

 

Flynt-Garrett Debra - Score: 95.000

The goal to increase attendance by 5% seems reasonable

Having the mortgage paid off should increase the ability to increase the capital improvements fund

Great community partners

The tie in with local hotels/motels is a great marketing tool; there is a wide variety of marketing partners, and strong community ties.

The additional operating budget information answered the questions I had regarding increases in remaining operating expense and total cash income.

Lynch Lindsay - Score: 97.000

Excellence: Goals, objectives, and activities are not measurable.

Impact: MCT appears to have significant financial and artistic impact on the community. MArketing and promotion efforts are designed to target the large local tourist population.

Management: Evaluation plan could be strengthened through inclusion of patron feedback. Budget reflects needed upgrades.
