Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

We would like to see a 50% increase in new audience members (first time Sandbox play-goers). Our goal is to have true collaboration from leadership to full ensemble, and for our new collaborators to feel their voices were not only heard, but that they had full agency throughout the process and production. We will evaluate our outcomes through audience attendance, written and online audience surveys, participation in post-show discussions, and through a rigorous self-examination process of post-mortem meetings and follow-ups.

Measurable Outcome(s)

616 patrons attended over seven performances. These performances were created by a team of fifteen artists. Audience surveys showed 61% of our patrons were attending a Sandbox show for the first time which exceeded our goal of 50% being new attendees. 100% of artists who performed expressed they felt heard and supported in the process. All five actors mastered three or more new aerial skills.
