Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)
Our measurable outcomes include, organizationally, reaching both a newer and larger audience base from our previous productions, and, artistically, expanding our actors' skills, confidence, and ability to perform classical roles. We will measure these outcomes through box office attendance records and anonymous surveys collected from both our audiences and our artists. Our qualitative audiences’ experiences will also be noted through recorded discussion at our Friday night post-show talk backs.
