Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

We would like to have 80% of the artists and 51% of the audience from the SWANA (South West Asia/North African) community. We would like to have 51% of the audience be first time participants/attendees to one of our shows. We evaluate through audience participation count, audience surveys, post-performance feedback, and artist surveys.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Of the 22 personnel in the show (actors, stage managers, directors, designers), eighteen were members of our community. They were Lebanese, Palestinian, Syrian, Somali, Algerian, Omani, Yemeni, Egyptian, Saudi Arabian and were Muslim, Druze, Christian. This was a HUGE success for us in that we were able to directly work with diverse community members in all aspects of our production.
