Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Audience members will enjoy this world premiere production as well as learn about Jewish culture, particularly the more observant, Hassidic segment. A second outcome will be the broadening of our audience by engaging an increased percentage of audience members who are aged 20-39. A survey inserted in the show program will provide information on whether audience members enjoyed the production, and what they may have learned from the play, and box office data gathered through ticket sales made either by personal call to our theater office or through our online ticketing will indicate how many ticket purchasers were 20-39. We will then be able to figure out what percentage of purchasers were in this age range, and compare this percentage to prior productions.
