Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

We anticipate an attendance of at least 500 people at our performances of Expectation Station with 40% of youth tickets attending the free pre-show workshop. Evaluation of quality of the show will be ascertained in the performance program survey. Attendance will be documented by ticket sales and pre-show participation will be evaluated by head count.

Measurable Outcome(s)

As stated previously we saw an increase in the senior population at our performances, in fact they amounted to 14% of tickets sold. Through audience surveys 100% of adults week re engaged by the show and 98% said that they found the content appropriate for their children ranging in ages from 2-13. Additionally, the young audience survey tool showed "loved it" from 93% of the 235 responses.
