Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

This project was specifically chosen, in part, for several desired outcomes. Outcomes we hope to achieve are that 40% of attenders will be under the age of 40; 30% of ticket purchasers will be first time attenders to Minnesota Jewish Theatre Company; and that feedback will indicate that the project fostered thought about identity. Audience members purchasing tickets online as well as on the phone will be presented with questions that will provide information on their age range and if they've attended previously. A survey will be included in the show’s program to solicit information on audiences’ opinions regarding the artistic and educational values of the production and Doorways programming. Based on the past success of these survey methods,along with unsolicited emails and notes, we’ll be able to assess their age range, if they've attended MJTC previously, and what attendees were stimulated to think about by the project, thus indicating success at meeting desired outcomes.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Audience survey showed that 24% of the ticket purchasers were first-time attenders. First time attenders had positive response to the show, including: "really resonated with me at this phase of my life" and "thought provoking."Ticket purchasers under the age of 40 were 21%. We were happy with the diversity of the audience; ticket purchasers were 65% non-Jewish.
