Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

The measurable outcomes we plan to achieve through this project are a 5% increase in ticket revenue and at least a 5% increase in attendance by people of color. We also aim for at least 80% of audience members surveys agreeing that "CAE's production styles were effective in connecting me to these human experiences portrayed in these classical works" and at least 80% of participating artists agreeing that they "value the professional challenge provided by CAE in translating film aesthetic to the stage." Outcomes will be evaluated through written, post-performance audience and artist surveys; direct audience count; and formulation of the average price-per-patron paid.

Measurable Outcome(s)

453 artists performed for 3,343 people at 24 events. 101 young artists attended free monthly Performer Meetings and participated in one-on-one mentoring sessions. $14,432 was paid to young and mid-level professional artists who participated in the performing events. 95% of participants enjoyed the program, would book another show, and would recommend THE GARAGE to others.
