Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

We expect that 800-1200 people will attend the show. Audience and performers' survey will show that more than 60% of responded will be satisfied with the show. Survey flyers will be distributed to audience and performers at the variety show. Post-performance feedback will be collected and reported.

Measurable Outcome(s)

The ?My Life in Minnesota" show sponsored by the MRAC Community Art grant was a great success. More than 60 professional and amateur artists from the local Chinese community participated in the project. The show and outreach performances attracted more than 900 spectators. About 65% of the survey respondents indicated the show was the most touching show in our community in the recent years.
