Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

We will present 8 performances of "The President and The Space Lady", an original musical comedy by local playwright Phil Hall to 500 audience members at a designated Saint Louis Park venue and receive favorable reviews with a 95% satisfaction rank of good to excellent. Measurement of the successful outcomes will include the recording of audience attendance numbers; number of discounted and free tickets; number of artists engaged in the project along with satisfaction surveys and feedback from all participants. The evaluation of successful outcomes and community impact for Performer Phil Productions' 2019 production of "The President and The Space Lady Holiday Musical" will include both quantitative and qualitative measures. Participation and audience attendance data will be compiled along with basic demographic data. An audience survey and online reviews and comments will also be analyzed and summarized.

Measurable Outcome(s)

"The President and The Space Lady Holiday Musical" had an eight performance run engaging 21 theatrical artists and musicians and 125 audience members of whom 97% gave a rating of "successfully entertaining" and 85% young adults and seniors were involved as artists and audience members. The branding of the Walker Lake District as a center for arts activities in Saint Louis Park was successfully achieved.
