Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

We hope to increase 20% in the number of community members attending the performance(s) over our 2017 production for the same program. 60% of the audience to leave the show knowing what personal actions they can take when they witness aggressive, bullying, and abusive behavior. All audience members will be counted and asked to participate in an online survey following the production. The actors will also be surveyed (pre and post production) to determine how their knowledge and communication skills on this topic were changed as they engaged in this project.

Measurable Outcome(s)

NSTC hoped to increase attendance by 20% over the 2017 SIT production. Last year 201 community members attended. This year 279 attended, for an increase of 39%. NSTC hoped 60% of the audience would leave the show knowing what personal actions they can take when they witness aggressive/bullying/abusive behavior. 97% felt educated about at least one action to take and 81% learned something new.
