Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

1) Our goal is to have audience members leave this play asking What can I do to help end child sexual abuse/sexual violence? 1) Post performance discussions will demonstrate that the audience is engaged; they will sign up to be part of our growing action network; via surveys they will identify actions they intend to take. 2: Minnesota Coalition Against Sexual Assault and Pillsbury House Theatre will complete a production featuring survivors and will tour it to reach six urban and rural communities. The production will be complete and tour up to six performances (two metro; three-four greater Minnesota) reaching individuals with direct lived experiences who may not be aware of ways to be involved.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Sixty eight of the audience members who completed evaluations shared what actions they were going to take due to seeing Fired Up. 2: Six social service organizations co-hosted performances of Fired Up in Duluth, Marshall, Rochester, Saint Cloud, Saint Peter, and Saint Paul.
