Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

A staged reading will be an unusual offering that will attract a varied audience. A post-show discussion between actors, audience, and writer will guide development of characters and story.I will distribute survey cards to audience to track age, gender, and how many similar events they've attended. An audio recording of the post-show discussion will be made to ensure all comments are heard and considered.

Measurable Outcome(s)

My goal was to write a locally-based screenplay that could be produced as a web-based television series using the artistic talent of writers, actors, directors, and composers based in southeastern Minnesota. I've opened the door with "Cannon Shoals."
