Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Twin Cities Gay Men’s Chorus will tour to Saint Peter and Marshall in South-Central and Southwest Minnesota to present performances and foster community dialogue. This outcome will be evaluated by tracking the number of performances and audience members served in addition to post-performance talkbacks, audience surveys, and partner and audience feedback.

Measurable Outcome(s)

TCGMC toured to Saint Peter and Marshall, regions we have not previously visited to present performances and foster community dialogue. We surveyed audience members about their concert-going experience and based on their comments, the project achieved the proposed outcome of touring the organization to new areas we hadn't previously visited. The majority of the audience had heard of us, but hadn't heard us until we toured to these areas. Audience members in both communities that we visited would welcome a return engagement.
