Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Madhatters and Lamplighters will collaborate to provide a quality performance that engages audience members and participants in a powerful reminder of the importance of citizens determining the fate of others. Provide an educational directing experience for those who participate in the Director's Workshop on a selected night of rehearsal in each venue. We will have our audience fill out a survey at the end of each performance, rating the performance as well as awareness of the social issues raised by the performance, and by the casting. We will have our director's workshop participants fill out a questionnaire regarding the objectives presented at the beginning of the workshop, and measure the participant's learning related to those objectives.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Successful community theater production. Participants indicated a positive impact. Director evaluation indicated a vast increase in arts knowledge.
