How will this project address local community needs?
Vernal needs the Vernal Theatre: LIVE project to help revitalize downtown Vernal, providing an important boost
to the economy. This project will draw in tourism and aid Vernal and the Basin with growth in versatility. We
hire local electricians, carpenters and contractors to help in building restoration.
Our community is searching for resources to help better themselves, to help keep children engaged in positive
activities, and to have wholesome entertainment for families. Vernal Theatre: LIVE gives community members a
place to perform and share their talents individually as well as in families. The building is for community use. In
addition to our productions, other use has been dance recitals, concerts, and private business events.
How does Vernal Theatre: LIVE measure growth?
Growth is measured by seeing continued expansion of our programs. We love to see a variety of participants
both on the stage and in the audience. We desire to attract professionals who are interested in helping facilitate a
creative learning environment where participants and patrons grow in the Arts.
