Audience comments will also be documented.
Measurable Outcome(s)
Yes, we achieved our planned outcomes. We used and tabulated a survey. Results show a high level of satisfaction of the performances with affordable pricing, with good variety. We will continue to seek quality performers in a variety of genres.
