Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Ticket sales will reflect sales for 68% of capacity (Capacity = 140 people), and at least 7% of tickets sold will be to young adults, ages 13-24. Regarding accessibility, this will be the first time we will supply audio description and large print programs, so we hope to have at least 3 audience members utilize the audio-description headphones/services and/or large-print programs, and we will hope to have at least 10 clients with disabilities from Ally People Solutions attend our free preview. Through ticket sales reports we will take an audience count of number of adults and number of young adults, ages 13-24, to determine if our goals were met for 68% adult sales and 7% young adult sales. We will have our ushers count the number of audio description headphones requested, the number of large-print programs handed out, and the number of Ally People Solutions clients who attend the free preview.

Measurable Outcome(s)

710 people attended our show, and nineteen different artists were hired. We had 37 volunteers, of which 31 were new to our organization, and one was an intern who received college credit for her work on the show. fifteen businesses bought ads in the show program. In an audience survey, 78% of respondents rated their experience in the range of 8-10 on a scale of 1-10 (with ten being "best.")
