Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Teatro del Pueblo presents La Razón Blindada, a unique international show that is performed in Spanish with open captioning in English. This approach will extend access to Spanish and English speakers as well as the deaf and hearing-impaired community.Primary forms of evaluation include: post-production forums with collaborators and artists, post-show surveys for audience and artists, and audience count. Evaluations will be available in both English and Spanish.

Measurable Outcome(s)

The production of La Razón Blindada was definitely a great opportunity for Spanish speakers to listen to a play in their native language. Many audience members were from Ecuador. Many commented on the great pride they felt in watching and experiencing a play from their country. There were a number of Spanish clubs that came to see the show; Increase visibility (publicity): The production caught the eye of local Latino media. I was asked to talk about the show on KFAI radio and newsmagazine La Voz Latina; 10% Increase in attendance by new Latino audience.
