Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)
We anticipate casting between 30 to 50 community members and using 10 to 15 community members in various crew positions. We expect 50 to 75 community members to take the free stage combat workshops that will be offered by professional combat choreographers. Success will be measured in audition numbers - we anticipate at least 50 people, and audience numbers - we are budgeting for 450. We also expect able average to excellent survey results in both the audience and participant survey results.
