Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

A broad audience will attend TLD performances of reimagined and new musical theater and deepen their connection to the work and to one another. We will evaluate audience impact and connectivity by the number of attendees, surveys measuring engagement with the work on our stage; participation in our post-show discussions; and number of people served through community engagement/outreach. 2: Minnesota artists from diverse lived experiences will collaborate in presenting TLD productions and will develop and shape new musical work. Artist surveys will measure demographics and provide feedback on TLD's production and artistic processes. Media coverage (including interviews and reviews) and post-show discussions will be measures of career and artistic growth.
