Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Outcomes we hope to achieve are that 90% of responses we receive to the play through written audience survey or unsolicited emails and notes indicates an opinion that the production was of excellent artistic quality; 33% of ticket purchasers in the age range 18-29 are first time attenders to MJTC; and feedback indicates that the project fostered thought on personal identity and how it affects perception and individuals’ own reality. Audience members purchasing tickets online as well as on the phone will be presented with questions that will provide information on their age range and if they've attended previously. A survey will be included in the show’s program to solicit information on audiences’ opinions regarding the artistic and educational values of the production and Doorways programming. Based on the past success of these survey methods, along with unsolicited emails and notes, we’ll be able to assess their age range, if they've attended Minnesota Jewish Theatre Company previously, and what attendees learned from the project, thus indicating success at meeting desired outcomes.

Measurable Outcome(s)

We're very pleased with the following significant outcome:35% of the attenders were between ages teen through 29, a much larger percentage for this grouping than typical for MJTC shows. While we hoped that:1/3 of audiences 18-29 would be new, 60% were; and while 90% of attendees didn't use words indicating they thought show as 'excellent,' 100% found it excellent, profound, thought-provoking.
