Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

90% of participants will express that they developed insights into their mental illness and were helped in their recovery. Audience direct feedback and surveys will show that at least 50% of respondents will indicate an increased understanding of mental health. The first outcome will be evaluated by post-project participant surveys, interviews with program staff, and interviews with teaching artists. The second outcome will be evaluated by post-performance audience Q and As, online surveys, and follow-up interviews with targeted presentation attendees.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Through direct interviews, 100% of participants said the theater-based process increased their appreciation for the arts; 90% that it benefited their recovery. Over 1,500 people experienced member performances at live events and online. 100% of audiences members participating in post-performance Q and As and a written survey expressed an increased understanding and/or appreciation for mental illness
