Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Through the New Leaf: New Work Development Program we will see our audiences be able to describe the new play development process in more detail through a pre and post-show survey. In our post-process one-on-one debrief with the playwrights, we will see at least 80% of our playwrights experience a growth in their script work by the end of this process. We will have a post-process survey for all participating artists, in addition to a feedback form for our audiences. The audience’s understanding of the piece and the new play development process with be evaluated through a pre and post-show survey. We will meet one-on-one with the playwright and evaluate their experience in the program and the program’s success in meeting their goals and expectations.

Measurable Outcome(s)

250 people attended five readings involving five directors and 31 performers. Due directly to the success of the readings, two of the five playwrights have gotten offers on their scripts that were part of this project.
