Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)
1160 people attended Red Velvet, earning $6,500 in individual ticket sales (65% of $10,000 total). The audience was strongly moved to respond to the production and the ideas behind it through post-show discussions, lobby conversations with company members, and written correspondence. We will evaluate the outcomes using audience count, box office receipts, and post-performance feedback (oral and written, including individual and press).
