Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

We aim to provide access and exposure to the arts for more Minnesotans as a result of the 2013 Ibsen Tour. The impact of this outreach will be measured by comparing patron information from the tour venues to our own patron database to arrive a number of patrons likely to be experiencing our work for the first time.Our primary tool for evaluation is the weekly resident ensemble meeting. These forums allow for self-evaluation of artistic and administrative progress of the company as a whole, as well as each individual production and program.

Measurable Outcome(s)

To produce a high quality production of Henrik Ibsen's A Doll's House and tour regionally to negate some geographic obstacles and reach audiences who may not otherwise have a chance to experience our work.
