Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)
Frank Theatre will expose Twin Cities audiences to the very first local production of this important work by Claudia Rankine. Frank Theatre will count the number of audience members attending the production at each performance. We will also solicit audience feedback through post show discussions.
Measurable Outcome(s)
1,435 people, who had never seen this production performed previously, attended "Citizen". We were thrilled that the performance drew in a more diverse audience than usual for us. Post-show discussions were phenomenal, led by very interesting panelists, so the audience was provided a dynamic and structured opportunity to digest the production, which poked at some very deep and painful issues.
