Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

As a result of this project, our audiences will experience a unique way of confronting the issue of immigration: through theatrical performance. The company provides a moderated talk-back session following the performance, which will engage the audience in informal discussion and reactions. We will record the number of participants in these discussions.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Successful theater activity which resulted in the majority of participants indicated a heightened awareness and appreciation of differring cultures.
