The first measurable outcome we hope to achieve is an increase of a minimum of 30% in audience numbers from our 2017 PRIME Voices series. We also plan to achieve diversity in our casting of 30% of the roles available in the project. ; We hope to increase our 2017 PRIME Voices series attendance of 400 people by at least 30% and employ a minimum of 40 artists using an Actors Equity Association contract unique to this special format, where applicable, that will permit us to hire and pay union wages for professional union actors while offering the readings free of charge. We also plan to illuminate as many of the roles in these readings as possible with mature female identifying artists from the LGBTQIA community, actors of color and those with limited abilities.; We hope to increase our 2017 PRIME Voices series attendance of 400 people by at least 30% and employ a minimum of 40 artists using an Actors Equity Association contract unique to this special format, where applicable, that will permit us to hire and pay union wages for professional union actors while offering the readings free of charge. We also plan to illuminate as many of the roles in these readings as possible with mature female identifying artists from the LGBTQIA community, actors of color and those with limited abilities. We will evaluate our outcomes by the number of audience attendees, audience surveys online and post-show discussions which will be held after all performances. We will also use a post-performance gathering and survey of artists to evaluate their experience.
We had over 480 reservations made through the Eventbrite website for the three performances which was 20% growth from our 2017 series. We employed 41 artists over the three performances, eighteen of those women over 50. Based on our post-show survey, the audience overwhelmingly found the staged reading form very engrossing but were enthusiastic about seeing all three plays done as full productions.
