Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Provide access to live theater by bringing a community theater performance to an audience, that is less likely physically able to attend the theater, - Fair Oaks Nursing Home. Attendance records of the performances. Audience members will be asked to complete a survey about the show that includes a five-point scale for evaluative questions on the topics of friendship and social roles. Separate survey regarding the talk back discussion, and create a summary of the results of talk-back sessions. Survey our partner, Fair Oaks Facilities, and have the administrator fill out an evaluation form for the performance, the audience, and the response of the audience. A copy of this evaluation will be given to Five Wings.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Successful community theater production. Participant surveys indicated a positive impact. Audience numbers met expectations.
