Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)
Measurable outcome of access to participation in the arts for more Minnesotans. Online recommendations via social and traditional media, a progressive increase in ticket sales after opening night, ticket demand, online traffic to the ticket site, number of new and more engaged volunteers recruited from cast and crew.
Measurable Outcome(s)
We had several new volunteers audition for the play, of which four were cast. Two were completely new and left within the first two weeks of rehearsals. The production team concluded that perhaps we need to provide more clarity regarding the time commitment at the time of the auditions.
