Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

75% of the audience will indicate a deeper understanding of the complex and lasting inequities Black women constantly confront because of hair discrimination. 640 audience members (515 adults, 125 youth) will experience a play that elevates the voices, perspectives and experiences of Black women. Our evaluation tools will include audience feedback from post-show discussions and an interactive art installation in the lobby where audience members can both share their hair stories and share how the play impacted them. This worked well for the staged reading and is a way to evaluate impact without having a traditional written survey.

Measurable Outcome(s)

We do not have a quantitative or qualitative summery of outcomes due to the show being cancelled. For the one excerpt performance in December 2019: 80 people attended the excerpt performance of Edges.
