Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Conduct a community dialogue to discuss relevant current issues addressed in the show - engaging at least three local government officials and 25% of our audience. To create an emotional experience for the audience, allowing them to connect with the source material and the current issues it addresses. Lumin will be collecting audience data as we increase our audience size and expand our reach to other zip codes. Artistic staff surveys have been and will continue to be useful as we improve our audition, rehearsal and communication processes.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Our audience increased 44% from our best-selling show. We use a sliding scale, designated 10% of our tickets as comps and still saw a 32% increase in revenue. 48% of our audience participated in the talkback session and another 5% came in just for the discussion. Our cast grew in diversity by 10%, our audience grew in diversity as well, but we don't have solid numbers on the increase.
