Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

The primary goals of TCHF are to provide a supportive platform for original live-horror theater, pay artists fairly for their work, generate marketing buzz surrounding the festival, connect artists a growing horror theater fan base, and entertain that fan base. We will be successful if we are able to pay our admin staff as outlined in the grant to provide critical services, maintain our 100% payout of individual tickets and multi-show punch passes to artists, engage journalists and bloggers to write about the festival, and grow our audience numbers from 2018 (3100 tickets issued). We will also send out a post festival e-survey to artists and audiences to gauge their opinions on overall festival operations and artistic satisfaction.

Measurable Outcome(s)

CAE reached 805 patrons across sixteen performances. In addition to the outcomes noted above, CAE provided 30 artistic activities filled by 24 working artists (some occupying more than one activity). All working artists were from the greater Twin Cities. Through survey comments and observation we continue to see the popularity of access to lesser known works and CAEs signature embedded live music.
