Additionally, Civic will provide school matinee performances and the annual Jr. Civic Musical, a production for kids by kids. Civic projects serving approximately 36,000 audience members through these seven productions, 35% of whom are Carmel residents —an increase in Carmel constituency of over 25% since leaving Marian University. The remaining 65% of patrons live outside the City of Carmel and are now traveling to this community, bringing economic activity to downtown Carmel. According to a recent economic impact study conducted by the Arts Council of Indianapolis, a typical arts patron spends approximately$43 on a night out beyond the cost of admission —spent at local businesses on dinner, drinks, dessert, accommodations, souvenirs, etc. When including the total cost of a ticket at$42, Civic patrons who live outside Carmel will generate $1,913,400 in economic activity at Carmel businesses in the 2012-2013 season—activity that would not occur without Booth Tarkington Civic Theatre's presence and work in the community. In addition to Civic's regular Mainstage productions, Jr. Civic education and outreach programs serve over 15,000 community members annually through in-house classes and workshops, educational productions, free admissions, and theatre education for at-risk students. Since 1941, Civic Theatre's Jr. Civic education program has offered the only year-round, theatre-based performing arts program in the state of Indiana, and thus, it has earned a stellar reputation as the foremost school for musical theatre education in central Indiana, located right here in Carmel. Under the guidance of professional instructors, students ages 18 months through seniors are provided a multidisciplinary.curriculum designed to connect theatre proficiencies with life skills such as discipline, self-confidence, commitment, and team work. In its new facility, Civic has an expanded capacity to provide educational opportunities, enabling the organization to offer over 100 diverse courses through 284 class sessions annually. During the 2012-2013 season, Civic anticipates serving approximately 2,000 students through in-house courses, providing over 5,000 free admissions to underserved individuals, and implementing free arts education for over 1,000 students. Jr. Civic staff estimate that over 50% of current students are Carmel residents. Mainstage: Civic is a community theatre, employing over 2,000 local volunteers annually in roles onstage and behind the scenes. Volunteers fill roles in administration, as ushers, on the Board of Trustees, and most importantly, they are the skilled artisans in the costume shop, the scene shop, onstage, and behind-the-scenes. Civic's exceptionally talented performers are central Indiana's finest lawyers, public relations directors; bank tellers, and teachers. The Theatre provides these individuals the opportunity to display their talents in a professional environment without a long-term, sacrificial commitment to the life of a full- time performer. Booth Tarkington Civic Theatre's unique composition of avocational performers and volunteers led by experienced theatre professionals sets it apart from other performing arts organizations in central Indiana. Although a community theatre, Civic is a distinctive hybrid of professional artists who ensure the quality of the Theatre's productions, backed by the support of talented local artists who volunteer their time, minimizing overhead expenses. Civic has a unique capacity to involve and educate the community by providing opportunities to work alongside highly regarded designers and directors, including full-time staff members who possess MFAs in their disciplines. The Theatre employs additional freelance artists—choreographers, musicians, directors, and designers. As continuing students of theatre, all of Civic's theatre professionals ensure cutting-edge educational opportunities for all who approach the organization with an eagerness to learn. Production staff estimate that 50% of all cast members new to Civic are Carmel artists whose need for a creative outlet is satisfied by Civic programs. Because of its unique composition and investment in local talent, Civic is able to produce superior musicals at an affordable price. Although highly rewarding for audience members and performers alike, musicals are among the most expensive forms of entertainment to produce. Requiring larger casts, additional and often more extravagant costumes, a live orchestra, and more complex scenery and technical aspects, musicals are generally not financially viable artistic pursuits, unless they include a hefty ticket price. However, Civic's minimal overhead expense, due to the use of exceptional community talent in production roles, reduces the total cost of producing a musical without sacrificing artistic excellence. The result is first-rate musical theatre available to central Indiana audiences at a competitive price. EXHIBIT A City of Carmel April 16, 2012 Booth Tarkington Civic Theatre Education: Jr. Civic provides a broad range of workshops for students ages 18 months and up, with an additional series of courses for adults through the Tarkington Studio Series. With its breadth of course offerings, Jr. Civic provides tracks of study through which young performers can move on to more advanced courses once they have mastered the basics. All curricula is tied to Indiana's academic standards, ensuring that the lessons are age appropriate and challenging. Furthermore, instructors— all experienced theatre professionals, several of whom are currently performing —evaluate each student's performance throughout the course in order to provide constructive feedback and recommendations for progression through Jr. Civic's levels of study. Jr. Civic workshops are unique to central Indiana in that they are based on skill development rather than product development. In other words, Jr. Civic students improve and perfect their performance skills through participation rather than paying tuition to rehearse a production for performance. Jr. Civic's philosophy is to build a superior performer through proper technique and intensive study. Jr. Civic's success in this approach is demonstrated over and over again as former students appear in Broadway productions, television shows, and on stages throughout central Indiana's theatre community. This approach to theatre education promotes meaningful and lasting change in the life of each student by not only improving performance technique, but also by increasing skills necessary for academic success such as communication, teamwork, commitment, creative thinking, problem solving, self discipline, empathy, and cultural literacy. Furthermore, studies show that students of the arts are more engaged in their classes, as a result, scoring 30 to 50 points higher than the national average on the Scholastic Aptitude Test(SAT). Civic's Tarkington Studio Series of classes for teens, adults, and seniors provides professional instruction in singing, acting, and dance to practice, hone, and perfect performance skills. Group classes are available as well as one-on-one coaching sessions and options are available to address all skill and interest levels. These workshops also provide opportunities for Civic's regular performers to stay involved between productions, building their performance skills to enhance Civic's Mainstage programming. Outreach: In pursuit of its mission to foster a love of theatre through imagination, education, and participation, Civic provides outreach initiatives to promote diversity within the population served. Through DramaWorks, Backstage Pass, and SneakView, Civic is able to reach preschoolers through seniors from all socio-economic backgrounds. A recently published report from the National Endowment for the Arts mostly found schools with the highest percentage of free or reduced-price lunch-eligible populations significantly less likely to provide students with access to arts education at both the elementary and secondary levels. This means that the nation's poorest students—the ones who could benefit the most from arts education through increased academic success, higher career goals, and civic engagement—are receiving it the least. Understanding theatre's unique ability to promote language and social development, Civic developed DramaWorks, a program designed to provide arts education to low income and at-risk students whose schools cannot offer this important aspect of a complete education. Through DramaWorks, Civic provides early childhood education for low income youth through partnerships with Day Nursery and St. Mary's Child Center. Through Civic's interactive program of study, preschoolers prepare for kindergarten by experiencing theatre in the classroom, in the audience, on the stage, and behind the scenes. Additionally, DramaWorks serves Challenge Foundation Academy in the Meadows, a neighborhood infamous for its high crime and poverty rates, with weekly drama classes for 4th and 5,,grade students. These students also receive free admission to Civic's annual school matinee to round out their education through theatre. Schools groups receive arts education at Civic through the one-of-a-kind program, Backstage Pass, an interactive, hands-on tour of the theatre and all its support areas targeting preschool-and elementary-aged students. The program is available throughout the season for a nominal fee of$3 per child and encourages a life-long appreciation for the arts. A similar program—All Access Pass—has been developed in partnership with the Center for the Performing Arts and provides tours of the entire complex of performance spaces at the Center. All Access Pass participants also receive a ticket voucher to Civic's annual Jr. Civic Musical to promote continued participation in the arts. To address underserved adults, SneakView is held during the final dress rehearsaf for all of Civic's Mainstage productions and allows low income clients of social service agencies to experience live theatre free of charge. Over 200 central Indiana retirement homes, shelters, rehabilitation centers, youth service organizations, etc. —including 10 located in Carmel—are invited to participate in the program each year, and over 3,000 individuals benefit from this opportunity annually, 80%of whom are seniors living on fixed incomes. Booth Tarkington Civic Theatre looks forward to ENHANCING the quality of life for the entire community with the support of the City of Carmel in the 2012-2013 season.
