Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

75% of audience members will leave with a deeper understanding of the importance of LGBTQ+ spaces and the impact they have on greater society. We hope to successfully complete six separate queer stories in the time frame using the new location to increase new audience by 25%. We evaluate our outcomes by using audience count and surveys. In addition, we host post show talkbacks to gain feedback from as well as having a post mortem with artists.

Measurable Outcome(s)

25% of our audience and artists served were Latinx for the first time. More than 25% of our audience and artists served identified as having a disability. More than 75% of artists and audience disclosed that they live below the poverty line. Over 75% of audience members said they were really excited for whatever Gadfly did next.
