Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)
At least 800 people will attend the staged performance of The Divorcee Diaries over 9 performances. 80% of attendees indicate they enjoyed our production either aesthetically or as a catalyst to talk about community issues.We will track the number of attendees through our ticketing tracking system. To measure audience member's satisfaction with our work, we will include written audience surveys with all programs, provide a general board in the performance space that people can write feedback on, have a videographer to ask for audience feedback at a limited number of performances, and also gauge feedback from post-show dialogues.
