Al-Saber Samer - Score: 88.000

- Your late reporting affects your future ability to get grants.

- How does your season choices embrace the multicultural South Florida?  This is another musical theatre company, producing slightly lesser known musicals, and claiming to "serve a diverse population."  This claim needs explanation.  There is no diversity here.

-  All the rest of the content is admirable, but the claim to diversity is false.  And that affects both claims of impact and claims of mission.  If 25% of the population served is black and another 25% is Hispanic/Latino, how is the season reflecting this?

To improve on the grant, under Proposal Description many groups write a short statement similar to the Proposal Synopsis explaining what the grant funds will be used for.  Then the goals and objectives tie back to the overall proposal.

Your Facebook page is a little confusing.  If you search for Slow Burn Theatre Company it comes up with a page that has information about your company but no posts or activities.  I did another search to find that the active page is actually under "at The Broward Center".  Possibly a single post on the other page stating to go to the correct page?

Repeating already stated information in "Additional Operating Budget Information" section is unnecessary.

Excellent job with providing quality work to local artists and high caliber productions to South Florida. 

For the next grant cycle, take a look at providing some numbers as far as how you impact the community and the local businesses in the area that you serve. How much money are you bringing into the community on a yearly basis? Consider providing surveys to your patrons to get an idea of their pre and post show spending in the community.

Also, just for formatting and shaping the grant proposal, list your awards and accomplishments in the "Excellence" section and keep the "Impact" section for economic impact, outreach to the community, marketing etc. 

Your "Teen Ambassador" program is a great program. Is their something you can do for the underserved community?

Very good storytelling with your theatre about growth.

Impact is amazing!

I would like to see more in depth details to the budget just not the minimal as the one represented here.  Other theatres offer a clearer picture.
