Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Umbrella Collective will engage 15 artists and 400 audience members. Over 90% of post-performance survey respondents will indicate connection to the themes and a positive experience of the work through thoughtful and engaging feedback. Audience members and collaborating artists are invited to fill out post-performance surveys including demographic data and critical/creative questions about the work. Beyond formal surveys, we invite conversations to continue beyond the performance venue by encouraging social media engagement, lobby discussions, and informal gatherings at local establishments.

Measurable Outcome(s)

400 people attended the production. In post-production surveys: 89% of audience members said VELVET SWING introduced them to new information or perspectives; 96% found the show engaging or very engaging; and 97% said they would recommend this show to a friend.
