Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

I would like to see our overall attendance increase by 15% (from 2014) for the season. I would also like to see and hear solid, positive feedback about our new Global Adventures series. I want audience members to enjoy the events and to learn something new about the cultures represented each week. We do an audience/participant count for every performance. I would also like to implement an online audience survey to further gauge the success of the 2015 performance series.

Measurable Outcome(s)

The best outcome of 2015 was the increase in diversity of our audience members, in addition to the increased variety of the performances. Our total attendance was comparable to 2014 (7375 compared to 7505) but did not increase by the 15% hoped for. However, the increased emphasis on multi-cultural performances has been commended often in comments by attendees.
