Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

TTT programming will evoke emotional, thoughtful or visceral responses, opening audiences to new ideas, feelings, experiences or perspectives. TTT will collect audience responses to our work via written surveys, verbal talk-backs, recorded reflections, and post-event interviews with staff from partner organizations. 2: TTT will reduce barriers to arts participation, affording access to the highest quality theater to those who have previously felt excluded. TTT will collect data on the # of community partners served, # of new relationships developed, and # of participants in free offerings. TTT will also collect qualitative data about barriers reduced through post-event conversations and surveys.
