Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

We will reach 1000 audience members comprised of children with mental health disorders, their families, peers, and community members through 10 performances at various sites throughout the Twin Cities. We will create a performance that a high percentage of the audience will find both entertaining and educational (surveys of past productions have shown that 100% found the show entertaining and 92% reported that they learned something about mental health disorders.) We will take an audience count at each performance. Additional methods include capturing feedback during our post performance Q and A sessions as well as a brief audience survey.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Fidgety Fairy Tales- The Mental health Musicals reached a diverse audience of 876 people through nine performances at sites throughout the Twin Cities. 57% of audience members experienced a Fidgety Fairy Tales performance for the first time. 98% found the performance entertaining and educational.
