Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

We hope to increase the diversity of our artistic collaborators, and subsequently our audiences, through free and open workshops and auditions, focusing on artists who have not received traditional, or formal, training. Four Humors aims to ask audiences, through theater and humor, to look for solutions to corruption in government by arming them with the lessons of the past. Four Humors plans to host feedback sessions after the workshops for the participating artists to allow people to discuss the successes, failures, and accessibility of the workshops. To evaluate the success of the production of The Last Days of Commodus, we will hold regular talk backs after performances to gather audience feedback, in addition to audience surveys.

Measurable Outcome(s)

We developed new relationships with our first ASL and Audio Description providers and learned about engaging the ADA community. In the workshops, 70 artists forged new relationships with us and other artists even if not cast in the show. Finally, artists working on this project (acting, design, direction, etc) were paid fairly for their specialized field of work with a company of our budget size.
