Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)
An increase in community awareness of Northern Starz so as to have an increase in ticket sales. An increase in participation by students in the cast with an additional increase in "new" members. We will evaluate by the total number of tickets sold over the run of the show. We will also review the number of total cast members and the number of total "new" cast members compared to prior shows.
Measurable Outcome(s)
The three most significant outcomes of this project include: engaging a 7 of young male actors - 3 of whom were new to our program, hiring ASL interpreters to perform for one of our evenings - specifically drawing in 2 new families, and we sold 535 tickets overall for the 6 performances.
