Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Audience Surveys will show that 65% of audience members learned about St. Paul’s East Side immigrant communities and Minnesotans with Swedish immigration history that deepen their connections to Swede Hollow. Record keeping shows that SHT will expand by 100% its connections to organizations serving immigrants on St. Paul’s East Side and Swedish immigrants and preserving Minnesota history. Audience surveys will be distributed after each performance, which will include 5-7 questions on Swede Hollow, the production, and future plans to attend site-specific work. Partner conversations will center on the nature of the collaboration, future partnership possibilities, use of historical resources, and meaningful connections to immigrant communities past and present.

Measurable Outcome(s)

The success of the panels connected to the show were amazing. We had a team member who served as our community liason to organizations within the community we served in. The attendance of the performances. We needed to cut off the performance numbers at 125 to ensure a quality experience for our audience members and we far exceeded that number for all of our shows.
