Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Produce 90-minute play and perform at 5 venues. Production will include 10 first time participants and reach 600 audience members. zAmya will track the production process and performances, involvement by new participants, and audience size. zAmya will interact with the audience to determine changes that happen as a result of the performance.

Measurable Outcome(s)

444 audience members attended a performance created by six professional artists, twelve actors who've experienced homelessness and who are employed with zAmya and eight participants currently homeless and performing in a zAmya show for the first time. 98% of audience members increased awareness or knowledge of homelessness. 80% increased their desire or intent to take action.
