Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

STC will help new and diverse audiences access theatre arts by telling authentic stories with young people at the core. STC will track attendance, registrations, and participants in the Open Door access program. Feedback will be solicited from participants, audience, cast, and community partners so all stories told are relevant to different ages, races, and genders. 2: STC will create theatre and education programs to challenge audiences to reflect on the ways they can make a positive impact in their community. STC will track engagement type and levels through participant surveys, social media interactions and attendance metrics. STC will choose to tell stories with diverse perspectives, and curate a space for healing dialogue to be experienced.
