Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Audience surveys show that 50% of audience members thought differently about art or performance and seeing the show. Surveys from ambassador cohort audience members indicate that 75% found the additional contextualizing information helpful for understanding and feeling welcome at the performance. We will use post-show paper surveys from audience members, compared to audience counts, to evaluate the outcomes.
