Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

We will count the number of people participating and experiencing the show and collect the zip codes of audience member so we know where we draw audiences from -- we hope to increase our audience size by at least 10% from the last show. We hope that cast surveys will indicate that they enjoy working with this director with whom we have not engaged before and give us greater options for directors for future shows. We will do audience and participant surveys.

Measurable Outcome(s)

1237 people attended the production. We did not achieve the 10% increase in attendance we had anticipated. 8% of those completing the survey experienced a musical theater production for the first time. Average score from cast/orchestra of overall experience -- 3.7 out of 5.
