Because of COVID 19 as well as unclear data methods, we were unable to evaluate our virtual audiences. This is unfortunate and could be valuable and significant information. Just based on comments we received during the streaming show, we think we might be reaching marginalized and disabled populations who otherwise might not be able to engage the arts directly at a festival.
