The goal of the project is to put on a production that will expose people to the struggles of the civil rights movement of the 1960s. We hope for 300-450 people to attend and for another 800 people to see social media and you-tube posts before and after the event. Additionally, we hope for thousands to see the media coverage of the event. The artistic goal of the project is to gauge the effectiveness of the dialogue, pacing and flow, and other dramatic elements that may need adjustment. Dramatic readings are necessary to inform the screenplay writer about the changes necessary to improve the script. The success of the project will be measured by how many hits we get from the video clip, how many people try out for the actors roles, how much media attention the projects gets, and how many people attend the performances. Additionally, all of the sponsors, artistic personnel, and the audience will be asked to fill out an evaluation about the impact of the performance. The feedback provided is necessary in order for improvements to be made on the screenplay. Ultimately, the success of the Readers Theater project will be judged by the acceptance of the script by a movie production studio.
17 cast members and 5 staff/crew members received an incredible artistic experience. We had nearly a full house both nights, with an estimated 105 people each night for a total of 210. Thousands of people saw the news story, the advertisement, the Facebook page posts and the web page.
