Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

50% of seniors will communicate feeling less intimidated when breaking down barriers between the elderly and technology. We will hold Post-show talk backs following each of the performances to discuss with the audience if they felt less concerned about their technology skills after seeing the play. We will provide a survey for audiences to evaluate their concerns of how technology is or is not changing their levels of interaction with family and friends.

Measurable Outcome(s)

We sent the video of the show to 5 low income, elderly care facilities around the twin cities and St. Paul. All we're excited to share the video with their clients. We asked for the organizations to do surveys that we provided them after the shows. However, because of staffing shortages, they were unable to provide the data that we requested.
