Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)
At least 1,000 people will attend the 6 performances. Participant surveys will show that our cast of at least 40 participants (both youth and adults) will evaluate the experience positively. We will evaluate our anticipated outcomes with audience/participant count and surveys. We will also gather post-performance feedback from email, Facebook, and an in-person post-production meeting open to our community.
Measurable Outcome(s)
1,667 people attending the production with 31 cast members and 12 orchestra musicians. Audience surveys, Facebook comments, and comments during our post-production meeting showed that our audience was extremely impressed with our production.
