Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Our first proposed outcome is that 2,317 people attended our production of The Skin of Our Teeth, created by 30 artists. Our second proposed outcome is that 80% of audience survey respondents indicated that this production met or exceeded their expectations. The artistry of our production will be evaluated through qualitative methods including online artist surveys, online audience surveys, audience feedback gathered at post-show discussions, and press reviews. The reach of our production will be evaluated through quantitative methods including overall ticket sales and box office records indicating the use of discount and access codes.

Measurable Outcome(s)

3,598 people attended 18 performances of The Skin of Our Teeth, created by 35 theatre artists. 73% of audience survey respondents rated the show at 4 or 5 in overall quality on a 5 point scale.
