Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

To offer quality arts of a wide variety at a low cost to our audiences. To expose the audiences to talents they might never have seen up close and personal. To encourage the artists to interact more with the audiences and be educational about their talent and what inspired them to go the route they did. Outcomes: measured by the number of people that attend each artist's performance; listen to the number of questions or interactions that occur between the artist and the audience. Listen to verbal feedback from the audience as to how well they liked the shows; and listen to the artists to hear what worked and didn't work for them so we can become more user friendly for them. We would like to see 5000 attendees to our presentations or more. counting the number of attendees and watching to see if the artist holds the crowd. Listen to audience's reaction to the educational parts of the show. We will feel success if 5000 or more attendee the various shows in total. We will head count each production.
