Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

By producing my original script I will be offering an opportunity for Actors, set builders, painters and other artists to work on an original play. It will provide audience members the opportunity to see my original script. We will observe the audience and talk to them after each performance. We will survey the cast and crew involved. We will collect attendance data.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Putting the show on stage for almost 600 to see was a dream come true. Hearing them laught my words and working with a talanted group of actors and backstage crew was so rewarding.
