Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

We hope at least 25 people under the age of 25 attend a performance. We hope to have a 75%, or higher, response rate to the audience survey, and that those surveys show the performance caused people to think differently about their personal use of plastic. We will evaluate our anticipated outcomes via audience count and audience survey results. Additionally, we will hold a post mortem with the artists to get feedback on the process.

Measurable Outcome(s)

212 people attended the run of the show, 71% responded to our survey questions of which 56% said they were likely to change their behaviour. We were able to increase our youth participation and forge a partnership with PIM arts highschool engaging students not just in the performance of the show, but in the script and creation process.
