Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

The Council on Crime will leverage current partnerships with service providers and Ten Thousand Things Theater to deliver the production to underserved communities facing issues of re-entry. The Council on Crime will evaluate our outreach in the community by tracking marketing metrics against the quantity and quality of dissemination and program attendance. 2: Audiences will be engaged in the cathartic power of theater by experiencing a quality performance with relevant themes. Ten Thousand Things Theater and the Council on Crime will engage in qualitative conversations with audience members after the performance about their experience.

Measurable Outcome(s)

CCJ activated pre show discussions at Second Chance Coalition, Volunteer Lawyers Network, and several work force centers. We used audience counts for performance and pre-show activities and qualitative analysis of discussions engaged in during workshops and after the performance. 2: TTT performed Forget Me Not When Far Away on May 4, 2015 at Minneapolis Urban League for constituents of the Council on Crime and Justice. We engaged in qualitative conversations with audience members after the performance about their experience.
