Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

1) Access to participation in the arts for more Minnesotans. We will introduce Shakespeare in numerous places unfamiliar with his work. 4) Our audiences are chiefly young, especially the arts-underserved millennial population. 1) We gather audience stories on Facebook. 6) Artistic director observes audience throughout performance. 7) We have thorough data on all performances.

Measurable Outcome(s)

We met these goals through the completion of the project and audience involvement.
