Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

We hope to attract 10% new audience members based on total attendance. We also hope to achieve a 20% increase in surveys completed and returned so we can better gauge what worked and what our audience would like to see next from us. Using data from Brown Paper Tickets, our own reservation system, and our point of sales system, we will determine how many new, unique visitors we have acquired. A combination of usher/front of house training and announcements will be used to more aggressively seek feedback using the feedback forms provided in their programs- we use two methods: the old paper and pen version, and a digital one they can use on their smartphone by scanning a QR code.
