Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

We expect 360 people to attend nine performances of this little-known but brilliant play. We will employ 27 diverse Minnesota artists. We will educate a an audience about the issues of teen pregnancy and postpartum depression both through the content of the play and through a panel of experts we will create for a postshow discussion. We will measure our success both qualitatively and quantitatively. We have an audience survey that lets us know what kind of audience we are reaching in terms of demographics (age, income, geographical location, ethnicity, gender, etc.). It is also important for us to reach our estimated attendance for both financial stability and community impact, and that is an easy measure of success. We will also note critical reception by newspapers and bloggers. Finally, we will note audience reaction, and encourage them to leave comments on the back side of the surveys.
