Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Quantitative: we will successfully present six performances, with a minimum paid attendance of 40 people per show, in addition to audiences who attend without paying. This audience will be reflective of the Whittier neighborhood in age, diversity and economic status. Qualitative: audience surveys will indicate an increased appreciation for the role nature can play in one's life (even in the heart of the city). We also hope to see evidence from our partners that our audiences continue a relationship with them after the show. Evaluation will come in the form of paper and online surveys distributed to attendees, as well as through direct feedback following each performance. Success will be measured by how well we meet our attendance and ticket sales goal; the quality of the audience feedback, and reports from our partners on expanded participation with their organizations.
