Our goal is to have audience attendance in excess of 300 people over the course of the run, with 33% of those audience members seeing one of our shows for the first time. We will also strive for audience feedback expressing an understanding of the similarities and difference of the Vietnam War to more recent conflicts. We will conduct audience surveys to secure the required feedback.
