Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Perform at least 35 shows between June one and July 30 2018. We will also hold the annual Ice Cream Social at the theater, and anticipate that at least 175 people will attend from the neighborhood. We anticipate that at least 95% of the hosts surveyed will express high satisfaction with the Driveway Tour show performed at their location. We do a head count of the audience and log the number of children and adults. We perform a survey of the artists that perform the shows, and incorporate their feedback into the next year's production. We also survey the hosts, to find out what is working and what needs improvement. The host feedback is crucial to having hosts return, and to expand our locations through word of mouth.
