Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Our first measurable outcome is that between 150-300 children attend the three free shows that we hold to test the revamped show. Our second is that these shows take place in venues where we can reach Somali, Mexican, and Karen children. Our third outcome is during our QandA sessions, the children demonstrate that they have learned something either about the overarching theme of trust or about the cultures from which the stories spring. We will count our audiences and make estimates of how many children from the targeted cultures are in the audience. We will confirm these numbers by checking in with the site leaders who work with the children. Each show will have a Q and A session after the show and storytelling piece. One of the artists will be in charge of recording questions and answers so that we can discuss and evaluate them.
