Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

To employ and collaborate with a majority person of color creative/technical staff. To engage area neighborhood residents and expand our audience with new participants by 20%. Participant and administrator surveys will be used on the front and back end of production. Audience feedback forms and talks backs will also be critical in understanding the impact on community.

Measurable Outcome(s)

The day we closed there were tons of people who showed up over an hour before the show started to make sure they got it. That was wonderful. There were 60 year old women on stage with 7 year old kids for the dance pre-show workshop. That was beautiful. People didnt want to go home the day we offered African food and then the show. They commented that this should be a tradition. Heart warming.
