Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Measurable Outcomes: We will spark deeper creative engagement for at least 15 participants in a pre-show workshop and draw a minority group audience of at least 20%. We will create an experience where audiences feel safe, comfortable, and welcome, gain a basic understanding of how theater works, and feel inspired to 'play,' imagine, or create. Evaluation Plan: We will measure our numbers through the workshop registration amount and collecting audience demographic data through an optional survey. We will measure our audience's reactions, learnings, and inspiration through offering a post-show survey that they can complete through multiple mediums to ensure a minimum 40% response rate.
