Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

The goal of Nature is to bring communities together with a unique, high-quality theatrical performance, reconnecting them with their local natural environment and giving them a deeper understanding of their relationship to the natural world. TigerLion staff will distribute paper and online surveys to attendees, as well as recording direct feedback during post-show discussions. To improve our own operations, we will do an online survey for company and Community Chorus members, host families, partners and venues, to recognize our successes and identify areas where we can improve.

Measurable Outcome(s)

319 audience members attended the five performances of Nature at Lebanon Hills Regional Park, along with approximately fifteen community chorus members. The vast majority of feedback from audience and chorus surveys indicated positive responses to the experience.
