Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Our goal would be to engage an audience that tends to get forgotten after high school with very limited amounts of opportunities to participate in theater in our community. The targeted audience age would be 18-25 years old. We would like at least 50% of our participants to be in this age range for the theater production of Beauty and the Beast. Upon registration to our event, registrants must list their age group. We will be able to directly track the ages of people registering for our event.
