Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Lakeshore will produce and present a variety of arts programming within your home facility and other venues in the community. Lakeshore will send out post-show surveys to patrons who attend our productions. Questions will include: Did you learn anything new? What was your emotional response? We will also send out post-production surveys to our actors and designers. 2: Lakeshore will continue to offer and promote Open-Captioned, ASL-Interpreted, Audio-Described, Sensory-Friendly, and Pay-What-You-Want performances. Lakeshore will monitor attendance records for each of these services provided at performances. Participants will also receive surveys to provide feedback on their experience.
