Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Our artistic goal for Tabletop Exodus is to find the balance between telling our stories and holding space for and encouraging people to tell their own stories. Success will be performances that: Spark people's individual creativity; reflect the people at the table; Incorporate playfulness ůdespite the inherent heaviness of mitzrayim. At test audiences, advisors and artist team will respond to the statement of the artistic goals above, rating success on a 5-point scale. At public performances, we will ask audiences to respond to questions on a post-show survey (also available online).

Measurable Outcome(s)

We originally projected 75 people max would participate in our public events. But, we increased seating capacity and 101 people attended, plus 19 at works-in-progress sharings. In our online survey, 14 out of 16 respondents said Through the Narrows “definitely” provided them with an enjoyable arts experience that returned to their thoughts after the event.
