Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Quantitative - 400 audience members in attendance, including two secondary and/or college-level classrooms attending. Qualitative - 95% of the artist involved indicate a fulfilling, enriching experience of their craft, and 70% of audience members indicate they attended a moving, relevant piece of theatre. Audience surveys, post-show talk backs, and post-mortem discussion with artists will be used to evaluate our anticipated outcomes.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Nearly 500 people attended the production over 12 productions, including members from seven press organizations who gave unanimous glowing reviews. The number of attendees marks the highest recorded attendance in company history, affecting more audiences and artists than ever before. We were able to pay our artists more than double the average non-equity contact salary in the Twin Cities.
