Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Our goal is to see 400 people attend this play, performed and created by thirteen artists. Additionally, we have a goal of 150 post-show participants at our audience feedback stations located in the theater lobby.. We will evaluate our audience count for the full run with compiled daily attendee reports, and will quantify our audience feedback by tallying completed paper surveys, and aggregating participation counts from our non-paper feedback stations.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Our greatest significant qualitative outcome, and one we are proud this show fostered, was that in successfully creating a space for honesty and growth, one of our cast members revealed to us that through this work, they found clarity in their own life and discovered their gender queerness. Additionally, one of our new collaborators joined Sandbox as a member of our permanent ensemble.
