Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Our quantitative outcome goal is to have a diverse (age, gender, ethnic background) mix of at least 1,000 people attend our performances. Our qualitative goal is to deepen the connection our attendees feel with Washburn Fair Oaks Park and the surrounding community partners. We'll measure this through engagement with our audience, both onsite and in the weeks following the performances. We will use ticket records to measure attendance, and post-show audience surveys to collect demographics. For the engagement piece, we'll ask questions about audience experience on the survey, and we'll work with our community partners to gauge participation from their networks.

Measurable Outcome(s)

The most exciting outcome of this project for us was the opportunity to offer the show for free – it’s the first time in Nature’s production history that we’ve been able to do it, and the enthusiastic response from the community, as evidenced by the audience feedback quoted above, as well as the diversity of audience that we were able to attract, motivates us to try to do it again.
