Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Quantitative: We will determine financial success by whether the production made at least $12,480 in earned revenue, and whether we averaged at least 65 patrons per show. Qualitative: reviewed by at least 5 sources with a majority of positive feedback and receive a majority of positive feedback from audience members and artists.We will measure artistic success based on both the notices the production receives and the post-production feedback we get from the participating artists and audience members. Through our box office reports, we will track our financial goals as well as track the number of under 30 tickets sold, complimentary and discounted tickets distributed, and number of Hennepin Theatre Trust patrons in attendance to look for new audience growth.

Measurable Outcome(s)

We had set a goal of $12,480 in ticket revenue and an average of 65 patrons per performance; We surpassed this goal and achieved one of our major outcomes by averaging 96 patrons per performance and selling $17,485 in ticket revenue; We were reviewed by more than 5 sources with spectacular notices and received overwhelmingly positive feedback and word of mouth from our audiences and artists.
